Emmen Airbase (CH) Sept 2009 - Feb 2010 [heavy thread!!]
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. |

Have some more, but no time to edit them all. They wear the orange suits because this is a test unit.Andras wrote:Nice shots, Was it Japanese flightsuit day..? Some nice angles here.. Do you have more flying shots? These copper coloured Sidewinders, dummy or the real deal?

Aren't these USN C-130 pretty regular visitors at Emmen (to pick up F-5's or parts of it) ?
I have seen them at Emmen before.

USN C-130 were regular visitors until the last tiger were delivered to the USA. Now we have maybe 2-3 Herkules per year.Copter wrote:Aren't these USN C-130 pretty regular visitors at Emmen (to pick up F-5's or parts of it) ?
