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.

Wow :worship: ....stunning shots of stunning planes. Nr9, a/a with the three Tigers in one shot, is my favourite.

On the 13th there was a little open house on Natal Air Base. Here are some results. The Xavantes will be retired from the beginning of december..... :( (exept for the test unit). On the static display there was a a/c of every type but I did not include the pics as you will understand (Brasilian children also play at 35 degrees... :mrgreen:) .

Thanks for all the comments again!

Yesterday was our last day (the 17th). It was good again. The pics in the air prove that you can drink a lot of beer and still get the pics right :D . The UH-1 is not too sharp but it was nice end of the holiday as it flew over the terminal a few minutes before sunset.

Erwin v D. will post a complete log soon.
