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.

Beautifull weather and busy flying with the locals led us for an afternoon of spotting at our homebase. Minutes after we arrived, the alouette III came to bunker east for some winchings. Bunker east is like the slopes in Gilze Rijen ;)

Then there was a "first solo" of a new pilot at 40e Sqn, so RS02 made some approaches on the runway in perfect light conditions:

And RS03 was doing a testflight at various spots, first in the gras area at the beginning of RWY02

Image

Then they moved to the runway

And after the flights they returned back to the platforms near the Herpain hangar:

First RS03:

Then RS02:

These will probably be my last pictures I took this year, I hope you like them
