Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality.

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. |

Beautiful shots of a sad occasion. 
Any ideas as to the future fate of both Rhinos?

Nice pictures in superb light conditions!! 
I feel awkward, but I never noticed the titles "Don't let me die I want to fly!" before... And its colors seem to suggest that it's disappearing into darkness.... Heavy stuff.

Rhino 37+15 will fly to Jever and get scrapped. The 38+13 luckily should get a second life as Gate Guard at Manching.Stratofreighter wrote:Beautiful shots of a sad occasion.
