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.

What about the batteries you are right, but I was more interested if anybody knows what the white tubes are!

Good shot, just like the drain pipe shot !

My guess would be an SH-60 Sea Hawk, with sideways ejecting sono buoys.

Am I coming close ?

Cheers,
Iwan

i think it's the floor of an airplane because if you look at the fuse panels on the leftside of the picture... you can see that the hinge is on top... and otherwise it would be on the lower side of the panel :),

That has been said a couple of times now, so please say if that is correct or not....

Hi TopGun,

It seems you are right ! Well spotted.

In that case I would like to change my guess to an F-27 Maritime.

I'm pretty curious if anyone guessed right. To me it doesn't seem to be a P-3 Orion or S-3 Viking because these aurcraft have many more launch tubes side by side. and they are not located next to the wall.

Cheers,
Iwan
