 | This 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. |

Thank you.Alpha Kilo One wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 12:15 Do you have a picture of the situation, to have the so-called situational awareness?
Tempting to go there, but don't want to go without positive results......
Nice pictures by the way!
Go there with westerly winds and you have a long fence to stand where ever you want at the other end of the runway.Alpha Kilo One wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 12:15 Do you have a picture of the situation, to have the so-called situational awareness?

Thx for your reply. Good explanation and advice. Appreciate it.Krazy wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 11:35 Thx Ranger,
You are correct, it's all the rwy 08 threshold. The double fence is a pain in the butt on everything. The A-4 shot is taken by putting a small (3 step) ladder on top of the mount around the farmers field. There is only room for about 3 to 4 people on the mount. If you use a bigger ladder you can pull it off from groundlevel, but you are looking at being at least 2,5 to 3 meters off the ground with your camera. You also need cooler temps, because as soon as the heat comes off the runway nothing can be done. The threshold itself is impossible.
The other shots are taken from the mount, over the fence. Sideshots are usually not possible, because the planes are too low.
