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.
This morning around 09:00 hours an An-124 from Antonov Airlines landed at Gilze-Rijen to pick up two CH-47F's for the Dutch part of the NATO mission in Iraq. A week ago it was UR-82007 that picked up the first CH-47F (D-603) and now UR-82008 (the only An-124 from Antonov Airlines still missing in my log) was to pick up the final two (D-481 and D-484).
After loading the two Chinooks the Antonov took off again around 13:15 hours.
