During holidays in September I visited the European Helicopter Cup at Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. A lot of spectacular rotary action in perfect weather!
Stewards are judging the performance of a French team during the Precision Flying Element
The female Russian champion at work
Another all-female French team taking off for their part of the competition.
A nice participant was this red Allouette
Part of the flightline
Anyone for a rear end?
A member of Patrouille de France climbs into his office for a training flight over Le Touquet-Plage
And the home-team with a low pass
During my stay on the coast I paid a visit to Le Havre-Octeville as well.
The pilots of Le Havre Port Authority
IMHO the most beautifull EC-135 around (and there were 3 of those!)
Another home-team is the Securite Civile
Enjoy!

Forum rules
This 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. |
