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.

French Coast Choppers

Post by arrecoos »

During holidays in September I visited the European Helicopter Cup at Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. A lot of spectacular rotary action in perfect weather!

A nice participant was this red Allouette

Anyone for a rear end?

During my stay on the coast I paid a visit to Le Havre-Octeville as well.

IMHO the most beautifull EC-135 around (and there were 3 of those!)

Another home-team is the Securite Civile

Enjoy!
