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.

Le Bourget 17/18 April 2010

Post by Niek »

Just like the rest of Europe, Paris was also affected by the flying restrictions that came from the volcanic ashes. As a result there were some nice aircraft stuck on Le Bourget.
Next to dozens of bizjets the following (semi)military aircraft could be seen.
90-0300 C-20H 76th AS
98-00010 UC-35A 6-52nd Avn Det
A7-AAM Global Express Qatar Amiri Flight
CN-ANO Falcon 50 Moroccan AF
M53-01 B.737-7H6 2 Skn
RA-09009 Falcon 7X Rossiya
TJX-CD C-130H Cameroun AF

I was also able to shoot some pictures. Comments are always welcome.

First of all the UC-35. It was parked close to the fence and could be photographed with 50mm.
Image
The Global Express from Qatar. A nasty detail was that I missed both Qatar C-17s a couple of days before.
Image
I believe that this Falcon 7X is quite new. It was parked in a nasty position, bit I thought it was special enough.
Image
An ordinary Ramstein C-20, but I still like it.
Image
Then a Malaysian BBJ. This picture was shot by using an open gate and taking the stairs to the roof.
Image
That week's special was absolutely this Hercules from Cameroon. It was parked in the middle of the airfield and the only decent shot could be taken from the museum. In case you look for the serial number, it is written in red on the brown tail.
Image
I also visited the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, here some pictures.

Apparently the Etendard had a birdhit, even though it is parked in the museum.

Kind regards,
