Tiger Meet Spotters Day + NATO Tiger AIr Show 2012
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. |

Hi all,
Together with Raptor I made the trip to Orland. It was a great time overthere. Here some of mine.
1) Taking off in the morning... very nice light conditions!
2) The spottingzone during take off. Close to the runway...
Regards,
Arjo

Nice set of pictures!
Unfortunately, I was not in the opportunity to be there but the pictures give at least a nice impression.

I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.

Most of the time a little to close for my comfort.

I hope this was allowed by the Orland organisers, if not, then it's shame to see people flaunting the rules. Because then the access is revoked and they complain. So if you were one of these people, and you weren't allowed to do that, and you're reading this, then get your act together.
Lovely shots though everyone, particularly liking the first image on this page and all the photos of the display F-16! It's some scheme.

I see what you mean...
Scenes like these are only "safe" if everyone behaves in a responsible manner and keeps a good look-out.

Do not worry ... its was more or less allowed by the organisers, but that does not make it safe.

Re: Tiger Meet Spotters Day + NATO Tiger AIr Show 2012
Regarding the guys standing on the taxiway: this is pretty close!
I am wondering whether this is what the organisation had in mind...
Whether it is allowed or not, for some reason this is dangerous and normally not what has been considered as 'safe'.
Most likely the crew of the Tornado didn't like this (if they would have noticed it...)
Imagine what could have happened in case they opened the throttle a bit...

More or less allowed? Where did you hear that? I believe it is NEVER allowed to enter an active runway or taxiway without authorisation from ATC.CBR wrote:Do not worry ... its was more or less allowed by the organisers, but that does not make it safe.

I fully agree but found it strange to see our hosts not respond to this, so thats why the "more or less allowed".Nebbor wrote:More or less allowed? Where did you hear that? I believe it is NEVER allowed to enter an active runway or taxiway without authorisation from ATC.
