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.

Wow truly an amazing set.

The A-26's are the icing on the cake.

BTW Is that old man Joe in real life also such a grumpy guy as he is in the series or is it just an act?

We talked for about 15 minutes and he was really friendly.
He told me to just walk around and look at everything I wanted.
Even said to come by in Yellowknife.
Which might happen soon since my wife is a flight attendant for Canadian North and they fly to Yellowknife.

Rob, nice report from Red Deer. Is the line up of Electras used as spare parts for the active Electras of Air Spray?
Followed the ferry flight of the ex Honduras AF Electra FAH55 but looks so different now.

Hi Ger,

what I understood is that some will be used for spareparts indeed.
But for example the ex Honduras one was supposed to be converted to waterbomber.

The A-26's will be leaving in the near future.
They are sold to a person in the southern part of Alberta.

Great series of fine pictures :!:

Red Deer is Electra heaven indeed; good to hear "old Joe" is a lot friendlier than in the series... :wink:

Thanks a lot for sharing...
