Forum rules
ImageThis 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.

Well, I think it's not fair to blame GME on not making this info public before posting his photos. We do not know the scale of this little spotters day. I guess it was organized on a rather adhoc basis by a few people for a few people.

Man power for such things is a critical ressource in the German Forces. So let's be glad that GME shared his nice pictures with us.

By the way, we all have means of getting to know about such photo opportunities. Simply write to the public info or call them. I am sure that you as a sincere aviation enthusiast know how to contact them.

That said by another sincere aviation enthusiast who served 40 years in the GAF

Best wishes

Sounds simple, but you can hardly expect spotters to write or call to every military base in Europ every month, asking if by any chance there is a spottersday planned....

How about contacting the respective command? It's as easy as that.......

Of course you have to know the commands, but as I wrote before real hardcore fans will know.....

The easiest way is to share the info on the Scramble forum, like most users do!

Yeah sure, are you going to do that and publish it then?

Sound like a couple of people are envyios about somebody who probably made an efford to do somthing nice and share it with us.
And not everything can be published.

@GME nice pictures, don't worry about a couple of guys being jealous.

Having attended the (very well organised) Niederstetten Spottertag in 2011, I likely would not have attended this time, so jealousy cannot be my motivation.
It just annoys me that a lot of people consume info published here, but keep valuable info for themselves!
Case closed for me.

The pictures are nice indeed, but as Gerard says jealousy is not the issue here.
I guess wether he has to worry about it or not depends on his consience ;-)

True. But this was a spotters day..... :-S

Very interesting what a sub-clause triggers.

BTW: Two invited DUTCH "Spotting Groups" cancelled there participation...

And so you see, not everything what you see is what it is......
I guess some people draw an early conclusion.
