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.

Madrid Getafe & Torrejon 21-23/08 (MIL) - picture heavy !!!

Post by CBR »

During a nice but very hot city trip with the family to Madrid, I was able to visit Getafe and Torrejon. Cuatros Vientos was skipped due to the Popes visit there.

Getafe 21-23/08

The following was seen but not photographed: 5 CN-295 Ala 35, EdA Citation, EdA Super Puma, Saudi AF A330MRTT, UAE AF MRTT-013, P-3 Orion (Brazil?).

Very well done, Carl. Considering the settings of some W&R and the high Summer sun, I appreciate your shots all the more.
The old style camo Herc is smashing! :cheers:
