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.

Luke AFB - 28-10-2010

Post by rogierottens »

During my trip october last year I visited Luke AFB. In the past it was loaded with F-16's at one point over 200 where stationed over there. Now there aren't that much but with over 60 flying a day it is still a great place. On the southern side you are standing between the 2 runways 03L and 03R. In the morning you get perfect shot on the left en in the afternoon on the right. We where there late october and the temperatures where still above 30c......

Very nice set.
How did you manage to avoid the (military) police???

I lived in Phoenix AZ for a few months and tried several times to get near to the base but the police showed up everytime within a few minutes. They told me I needed a special pass to make pictures.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.
