France Sud (week 31-2012) - picture heavy !!!

Post by CBR »

Since I had one extra week of vacation I decided to travel to the South of France for a MIL photography trip.

Lots of bases & places were visited like Marseille, Orange, Le Luc, Hyeres, Cuers, Salon, Istres, La Berre, Nimes etc.

Since its holiday season also the south of France does not see to much MIL flying with Orange as the positive exception.

Due to the high temperatures and weak winds heathaze was another challenge.

Here some of the results.

Very nice pictures!

By the way, from my experience, the spots at Istres are quite hard to find without a GPS :mrgreen:
Cheers,

Looks good !

A few questions about Marseille: How many airtankers did you shoot on approach, and how long did you stay? Can you give me the exact location where you stood for these airtanker shots? Love the Tracker !!

Thanks for sharing,
Iwan
