Forum rules
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. |

Mil-trip around Madrid 15-10 until 18-10-2008
Niels, Rob, Mark and I made a great 4 day trip around Madrid. We visited the military airfields of Torrejon de Ardoz, Getafe, Colmenar Viejo and Cuatro Vientos. The last day we visited the museum in Cuatro Vientos. We had a very good time, even with the local policia at Torrejon.
The Guardia Civil wasn't that happy with us visiting Colmenar Viejo, but we managed to 'fool' them and save our pictures. Sadly lightconditions weren't good, all against the sun, as you can see in the picture below.
Spanish military airfields seemed to have a high level of security, every were we came Guardia Civil or military police were patroling the area. So, no pictures of Getafe and Cuatro Vientos. Torrejon was the place to take pictures.
I will start off with some samples. More will follow later this week, probably also by Niels, Rob and Mark. Hope you enjoy these and the ones to come!

And here we are again, this time posing with the local policia who visited us at Torrejon. We were just outside the military zone, on the hill near the landinglights (wich you can see in the previous picture of our group). Both officers told us we were allowed to take pics of airplanes in the sky, as long as we didn't 'shoot' in the direction of the airforcebase. After a very nice chat, we asked them to make a pic of us with the policecar and one of the officers. And guess what ... the picture was made in the direction of the airforcebase ...
Anyway here's the result. Of course we made the posing officer unrecognisable.
Grt, Mike.
