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.

Balloonflight Drachten 17-04-2011

Post by Cloudhopper »

Last Sunday I had the opportunity to see Friesland from the air, flying in an A-300. Not an Airbus of course, but a Cameron A-300 (PH-BIA).

The balloon lifted off from the industrial site Azeven in Drachten.

The balloon rose to over 2 km altitude, just above the clouds! Very beautiful, but also a lot colder than just above the ground!

Below are some pictures of this beautiful balloon flight, which ended just before Heerenveen.

I made a flight with the PH-BIA myself from Hoogeveen to Dalen, last summer. Really liked the feeling of just hanging in the air. It was a great experience. Where did you land? Nice picutres you made!

It's always great to make a balloonflight! We landed near Tjalleberd, just north-east of Heerenveen.
