Hello all,
Today (19th September) I made a trip with a Cessna 172 from Johannesburg Grand Central Airport (FAGC) too Johannesburg Rand Airport (FAGM). On both airports where some nice aircraft standing on the ground so I made some pics to share with you. I also included some inflight pics. I hope you like them, enjoy.
Johannesburg Grand Central Airport.
Our plane for today, ZS-NXW.
The cockpit
Before we went in the sky I walked down the apron to take some pictures of the aircrafts and choppers standing there. Here are some of them:
ZS-JZJ
ZS-DWK
ZS-ICC
ZS-JEM
ZS-ONH
ZS-RKX
V5-MGF
Ready for take-off from Grand Central airport.
Some pictures taken during the flight.
The skyline of Johannesburg
This ain't houses but it's a part of a cemetary.
Soccer City stadium
And arriving at Johannesburg Rand airport.
After lunch we went walking to the aircraft standing outside on the apron. Also some of the hangars where opened. There where some nice ones among it. An impression.
ZS-NTE
There was no registration on this Catalina but it should become the N427CV
ZS-SPO
There was no registration on this one
ZU-BAL
ZS-WBG
ZU-HIT (it was standing between other planes so I couldn't make a descent photo of it but I think the tail was beautifull)
TN-AHH
ZS-AUA
ZS-NWJ
ZS-BAK
ZS-WFD
ZS-RGT (This police chopper I saw during taxiing for departure to Grand Central again)
And Arriving at Johannesburg Grand Central again.
This was it. GrtZ

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. |
