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.

Lovely! Too bad the L39s have left (although maintenance may still be carried out at Nha Trang, saw a few in the hangars/sheds). Did you get any visitors? Last year I only had 1 An26.

I read somewhere the Fitters used to be based here, can you imagine that?! Off-topic, but a nice propaganda video of their Su22's:

That leather helmet is a "classic"! :D
The Vietnamese apparently still don't provide student crews with "bone domes" yet... :wink:

Were you near this spot?

@ All, thanks! Within one hour (8:30-9:30) i noted 16 different Yak52, 8 at the platform the rest was flying. At monday nothing was seen, Tuesday one An26, the rest was seen at Wednesday.
@ Strato, yep same spot, allthough this spot looks like it is at the road while i was standing at the beach.
