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. |

Hi Arnold,
A nice set off italian hardware.
How many mm did you use for your landing/take off shots ?
Regards, Foxbat

We used the following spots/mm:
Spot 1. Landing PM
37.896608,12.50886
With westerly winds, this is the spot to be. Landing shots with 200mm.
Spot 2. Take-off
37.915511,12.470516
You have a good overview of the airfield here. Fighers in take-off with 400mm.

Re: Trapani - Libya missions
Nice shots, Arnold! I was wondering whether it's hard to access the airport these days. Isn't there much security around?

Re: Trapani - Libya missions
Was there also last Tuesday, many times seen by security / military personal but no one asked some questions. The spots Arnold mentions are not next to the airport perimeter so they don't see / can not in contact with you that easily. Also at Deci no major problems.Boudewijn van Oirschot wrote:Nice shots, Arnold! I was wondering whether it's hard to access the airport these days. Isn't there much security around?
So it is possible and you can fly directly to Trapani, 24 hours operations, so why not going

Re: Trapani - Libya missions
Hi,
We spend several days at Trapani, and one day at Sigonella. Although I am pretty sure we were seen from the base and from the outside, but no questions were asked.

Thought Ryanair had moved their operation from Trapani to Palermo...Thijs wrote:[So it is possible and you can fly directly to Trapani, 24 hours operations, so why not going

Re: Trapani - Libya missions
A few flights not all. Last monday we arrived at trapani from cagliari and wednesday we departed trapani for eindhoven. The niederrhein flight departed from palermo. So you have to check the schedule carefully! Beware the uk version of the ryanair website is more clear than the poor translated dutch version.
