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. |

Wittmund 26-03-2013
It had been the first day out this year together with my dad, so we were looking for some really good stuff So where to go? Decision was made at around 0300lt tonight, to pay Wittmund a visit. And indeed it was worth the 4hrs drive, despite the changing, non forecasted weather conditions.
I'm only going to show 4 pictures right now, cause i guess there will be some more members posting their stuff from today, as well (there were around 30 spotter all aorund the fence)
38+10 was supporting 38+24 during it's Phinal Flight to Jever
In the afternoon 38+33 was the only active Rhino, after 10's Flame Out during Take Off
and last not least 2 A-10C from 81st FS made a Fuel Stop around 1415Lt. Maybe their last visit to Wittmund.........

What a shame that the Rhino's will soon stand down! They look better than ever in their fresh "clothes"
And yes please post more Tigerspoon - your images are 5* +

The F-4's indeed look very good in their new paint but also the A-10 looks new....too bad both types will leave western Europe....
