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.

Post by r.e.hendriks »

Hi all,

I visited BA112 Reims-Champagne last week for the last time.
Too bad this beautiful airbase will close in June 2011.

Here is a small selection of this beautiful day!

Thanks for the replies guys.

@Jeroen: on Fridays the airbase is open, but flying activity is very low and stops around 14.00lt

Yes it had a flat tire...

I have some shots of it and you can see even a big mark and hole in the tire.

Best regards Rob.

Here 's the situation:

1. No problem with the landing but he put his nosewheel down very late.

2. I think he had to break hard to get the taxilane near the civilterminal which caused the flat tire. See the hole.

Thanks Rob, but I didn't post mine to show what I've shot. Just to show the situation of the flat tire.
Mine were already posted in another topic, which obviously Rob Hendriks didn't notice. No offense of course. :)

Hey Rob,

It's closing time in all countries, photography hobby is getting more challenging by the year, you did well my friend:)
Come to think about it, we've had dozens of good airbases which are no longer among us!

Greets!
