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. |

Lausanne 4-7-2009
On the 4th of July all of a sudden this beauty (or beast) landed at the small airport of Lausanne-La Blécherette. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me at that moment, so I had to return later.

Re: Lausanne 4-7-2009
The reason for this visit is the fact that the Mi-26 was used to lift the catamaran Alinghi into the Lake of Geneva.
This was done yesterday, when fortunately, the sun was shining again. (a report can be found at http://www.20min.ch/ro/news/romandie/st ... t-16004125" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
I was able to make some pictures when the Mi-26 returned to Lausanne.
An interesting fact is that the helicopter will stay here till mid-August, when the catamaran will be lifted to Genoa (Italy)
The REGA helicopter also left for another mission
