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.

Kishinev (Moldova) MIL/CIV

Post by FredL »

US Army UC-35 nr 970102 was today at Kishinev, bringing US members of the Congress if I understood well.
A C-17 also visited Kishinev this week, bringing some military equipment, following Moldova News.

The boneyard is still there, full of derelict AN-24s, Tu-134s, etc., but really difficult to come close enough for pictures.

Also of some interest, maybe, an Airbus under Jodanian immatriculation, flown by Fly-One.

I used my cell-phone camera, as it looks a bit difficult to make pictures with a better one (tension with Russia and a terrorist double murder recently at the airport brought the level of security higher and makes it a bit more tricky for spotting).
Hence the poor quality of those shots.

Thank you for this nice picture.
The Kamov helicoters, visible behind, are all gone. Don't know anything abour their fate, but there were many of them a few years ago.
