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. |

Not the best quality due to the weather.

Hierbij mijn opnames van de Republic of Botswana BD700.
In 1e instantie stond de deur nog open, maar er waren al wat activiteiten om de deur te sluiten dus eerst maar even een plaatje van de andere kant van de kist.
Na een paar minuten in de regen gestaan te hebben ging de deur dicht en werd de bemanning vervoerd naar de GA-terminal.
Net voordat er een Falcon naast de BD700 werd geparkeerd kon ik deze opname maken.
Geen perfecte opname, maar voor een nachtopname in de regen volgens mij wel acceptabel.
Grtn,
Fred

Very military? Wikipedia on military: "A military is an organization authorized by its greater society to use lethal force, usually including use of weapons, in defending its country by combating actual or perceived threats."
Now where do the bombs and guns go into this BD.700? IMHO it's civil plane used for civil duties like tranporting supposedly important people from A to B, but owned by a governement that chose to utilize alternative markings (not A2-xxx). Maybe is even has it's VIP-aircraft adminstratively owned by it's ministery of defense, instead of any other ministery. But, again IMHO. that doesn't make a plane a military plane.
But then again, who cares? It's an interesting plane from a country we don't get to see that many planes from outhere...
(Just kidding ofcourse, no need to bring up the entire military/government/civil discussion up again)
