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.

Chinook delivery by barge

Post by stipjes »

After a great good-bye to the Volkel F-16's we went to work and to Zeeland,
Just a few minutes were left before the Dynamica left the canal near Wemeldinge and into the lake;

We caught it again at Bruinisse;

It parked in front of the lockers at the Krammersluizen for the last 2 hours, will it stay there for the night?

The Dynamica is much more sailing for the US army, like his sistership, the Vera. CH53`s, Hummers, Apaches, trucks, tanks are
a lot sailing over the river Rhine. My officer/stuurman has 2 years sailing on the Dynamica, normaly by such transport, there is a officer from the US Army on board. But you can without any problem go on board from the trucks etc. Normaly thus trips goes from
Mannheim (40 km from airbase Ramstein) to Rotterdam or Antwerp. Wen they are sailing with ammunition you can see three blue lamps above, or three blue ``kegels`` (sorry, i don`t no the English). Dynamica has btw a crew of 4.

Nice shots! Especially the ones from Pim are supersharp. Unfortunately I was as work while the ship was sailing by less than half an hour from my work....I had hoped it would sail somewhere between Nijmegen and Emmerich around 17h but no...

A question: the colour of the new Chinooks seems much brighter than the old ones. Is it really a different colour or do they just get darker over time, picking up dirt&dust on their skin?
