Hello all,
Below are some pics that where made on a perfect base visit at Rota on the 26th of March.
Hopefully you guys enjoy and if you want to see more let me know or look at my site.
Regards, Rene Sleegers
Very rarely seen are these H-369M’s
Only one AB-212ASW wasn’t home.
All the Seakings where at home.
Take a good look on the background! 3x C-5 and 3x C-17!!
Unfortenately no Seahawks outside but only 4 where on ships and the rest at home.
All Ce-550’s were at home. Take a good look on the background!!
Also the new Ce-650 was shown to us.
The Spanish Navy still uses 2 old Harrier. Only 1 Harrier wasn’t at home.
The only TAV-8B from the Spanish Navy!
The old Harrier!
There was also a nice visitor!!
Rota was also filled with AMC stuff. During our visit there where 6 Galaxy’s and at least 6 C-17’s! We where lucky that the Spanish Harriers are using the AMC ramp and we where alloud to take pics from the Harriers, and very sneaky from the C-5’s!! The first C-5 is from the ground and is changing tires!

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. |
