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.

Phinal Phly-out at Wittmund 5 july 2013

Post by Interceptorsaurus »

Hello.

The phat lady has sung.
38+48, 38+64, 38+33 and 37+22 took off from Wittmund this morning to meet their fate at Jever.

Some images of this morning. The weather was Spooky. No bright sun but gloomy, the low clouds only broke when the last machines were gone.
Es musste sein.
37+22 being the very last Phantom to leave Wittmund with "RIP titles" (I.P added to the JG71-R on the intake).
38+33 had the best fly-by.
It was sad but nevertheless .....phantastic!

Just mentioned the more likely ones. Iran not likely to see or photograph. Israel and Egypt are already wfu.
