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.

Danish Air Force Airshow 2008

Post by jaah »

On the 7th and 8th of June the RDAF hosted it's annual airshow.
This year it was hosted by Helicopter Wing Karup at Karup AB.
It was a nice airshow with great weather and a nice diversity of old and new and slow and fast aircraft. Also I can't remenber the last time every aircraft in the Danish inventory gave a flying display.
Here is an impression of the weekend.

During the spotters day, we were shown some of the W&R on the base

If you mean the one flying, that's a standard colour that al Danish Lynxes have.
