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.

Yumm Yumm Yummm :)

It's a pity that the Mirages aren't in their old colours any longer, but I think they look pretty good in this grey jacket as well!!

Peru,Las Palmas Base visit.Photo.Day 5

Post by stipjes »

Hello,

Thanks for the nice comments. Last wednesday was indeed a great day. Lima is very strange and since wednesday it was sunny, humid, cold and foggy so there were no more rehearsals.
In the last days we visited some wrecks, eat and drunk beers. Today we entered the base again and this should be the day for the big flight pass. But not much happened. A few new a/c were noted though but we are still very very satisfied with this trip (but do not forget to bring patience). Btw, the FAP guys could not tell if the Hind's are Mi.25's or Mi.35's.....
Here is an impression yesterday (sunday):

Peru Base visits. Photo. Day 6. Callao!

Post by stipjes »

Yesterday (2nd easter egg day) was our last day in Peru.
The weather forecast looked ok so there would be activity again at Las Palmas. On the day before I asked a few FAP people in Las Palmas if a visit to Callao was possible for monday.
They gave us 90% chance (but in Peru this can mean 20% ;-)). In the morning we got a message to hurry to the Air Base... We took it slow though because we thought they wanted us to be at Las Palmas.
After an hour I read the message again and they ment Callao I figured out....!
The taxi driver flew to Callao and it was worth the visit. The aircraft for excercise Coorperacion arrived! It was a great day with a lot of different aircraft and helicopters from the America's. The sunlight was great and everything was possible, even visiting the storage and dump areas.
At dusk we were still at the airfield and we alsmost missed our KLM flight home. The 7 years of contact maintenance was worth it!
Here is a small but diverse selection of yesterday:
