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.

Reims 07.03.2011 Adieu Mirage F1

Post by bvdboomen »

On monday march the 7th, we wend to Reims to get a last glimp of the Mirage F1. Here's a photo impression of that day.

1. Warming-up with some Pumas.
Image

2. Another set of nice visitors; no less than 6 RAF Apache Longbows!
Image

3. Then the real actors came up.
Image

4. And a show they gave.
Image

5. They even stopped in front of us à la NTM.
Image

6. The weather was cold, windy but sunny all day.
Image

7. Another typical Reims background.
Image

8. Face front.
Image

9. The last wheely of the day. Adieu Mirage F un.

Hi Ben,

indeed it was a nice day :) . The pics rock. Too bad these beauties will leave Reims and Reims will be closed :( .

@Arjan:

Be quick. According to a french guy the F1B will stop flying early May and the F1CR and CT in June. Expect only 6 to 8 planes making different sorties. We had 15 sorties this day made with eight different planes that monday (7 march). We arrived around 09.30 hour and left at 17.00 hour.

Grtz,

Edward.
