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.

Le Bourget 12 May 2011 UAE AF C-17

Post by Niek »

Today saw a very nice visitor at Le Bourget; a brandnew C-17 of the United Arab Emirates Air Force on it's delivery flight. Taking a picture prooved to be rather difficult, due to the construction works for the Paris Airshow. The picture below is the best I could do. But hey, you don't see them every day (at least I don't) :-)

Niek, very nice! Did you manage to see what is under 1223 on the nose: is it 10-0401 (as 100401)?

No, I could not see that since I was not able to move any further towards the front of the plane. (it was also quite far away and I left my binoculars at home)
