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. |

Nice one!!
Allthough I would rather think that sending Hornets is a further escalation of the crisis..but happy to have them on our side of the pond

The weather was not the best. But it could have been worse. It was still quite cool to see them. Cool pics Tigerspoon!

So this means the hornets are parked at the visitors platform north of the runway? Or are they together with the cc150s on the AMC platform south of the runway?

Yes "old" visitors platform north of the runway, the CC150 are parked on the opposite side, on the "new" AMC ramp (as far as I could observe it)jreijmer wrote:So this means the hornets are parked at the visitors platform north of the runway?
