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.

Yeap. These pictures are all taken outside the fence with apr. 150 to 200 mm. You'll need a five-step ladder and some luck with the security on base. The Gendarmerie usually only checks your passport.

That is an ASMP medium-range nuclear missile. ASMP stands for Air-Sol Moyenne Portée.

The F-15E went around because of very strong gusty crosswinds, because it happended just at the moment of the flare, I looked pretty impressive and wobbly. Because of the go around and the side drift, it formed a rather big cloud of dust. The dutch F-16 behind it had to go around as well. 8) :D

Here a movie can be seen: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9qpzr ... eims_sport" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Its a pity you don't see the impressive dust cloud it created. According to de crew they digged a 15 meter ditch besides the runway in just a few seconds......... :shock: :? :shock: :? The Rafale which was taxing to 25 stopped and had to wait for minutes before the dust cloud disappeared.

Post by Hornet »

Hi,

Here are some "feelings" of the "Meeting du Centenaire", at Reims (France) Air Force Base
on June 27th and 28th.

Changing wether all the day long and an enduring mist harmful for picture's quality... :(

Nevertheless, a great airshow with an exceptional diversity of flying machines covering
100 years of aeronautic history ! :happy:

Without doubts, an absolute must of 2009 year !


Here we go...

Some lovely compositions. One I really liked was the Dutch F16 going vertical, an unusual but well thought composition.

Well done,
Chris.
