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.

Selous Game Reserve Tanzania

Post by Thermal »

Small photo log from ....well, name of the airfield unknown, actually it´s not even an airfield but an airstrip in Selous Game Reserve in Southern Tanzania.

Image
Cessna 208 Caravan I (5H-HOT) almost at touch down, immediatley after this shot was taken, the pilot had to apply more power to avoid several impala´s on the runway, skipping over them and putting it down nicely behind the impala´s.

Cessna 208B Grand Caravan (5H-VIP) at touchdown (note impala crossing the runway :wink: )

I know, not a superbase, but it was fun to look at. :wink:
