Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Spain - Torrejon de Ardoz 15+18.04.08 (15 photos)

Post by asto »

Hello,

In this topic you'll find part two of my photos from Spain (part one: Colmenar Viejo, see 21.04). I spend two days at Torrejon de Ardoz, an airbase of the Spanish Airforce some miles from Barajas International Airport Madrid. Its an interesting airbase because it is use by various types of aircraft, see the pics below.

On the first day 15.04 there was a clear sky with sun (most photos taken at this day), the second day 18.04 a lot of clouds, heavy wind and sometimes rain.

All photos taken from outside the airfield in the approach of runway 23.

First of all.. Nice shots!!!
Second.. Yes..there are still some Phantoms stored... or at least they were last November. We managed to get four of them C.12-18, CR.12-45, C.12-23 and C.12-39/12-31
But there were a couple more, but not really simple to read..

Hope it helps,
Grtz

Thanks for sharing the pictures!
:D
Very nice to see some aircraft in camo and white c/s.
The white 707's look much nicer than the grey one.
