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.

Kraków - Poland - E-3s and locals(C-295M new camo)

Post by Borygo »

Last week due to operational reasons we had two E-3 in Krakow. Rare situation so it had to be documented;) Below is my photo report from that busy day in 8th Transport Air Base - shots are not very sophisticated but maybe will give you impression how our Base looks like.

That new camo looks superb! Although as a numbercruncher I have seen all Polish Casa's, this new camo makes it worth seeing them again...

Nice set of images!
I would be pleased to see a new camo C295 at Schiphol where they visit every month, although I would prefer to see 021 first... Last one I need!

Too bad nr. 15 isn't sharp because then it would be a very good one. Rest is very nice!
