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.

It must also be said that this spottersday was nothing more than a scam. The organisers were of course not responsible for the poor level of activity, but were definitely responsible for the uncredibly poor location from the spottersplace, too far away from the flying activity and most of the time with the sun in front of the photographers.

V.P.

@ NLExile

I was there until the very last minute. I left around 19.30h.

After the event I was able to talk to the organizers. Very nice guys indeed. Accoring to them, the major of the Départment talked to the French Army, so this resulted in the last minutes changes.

I live in Saarbrücken and I had a 40 minutes drive. I understand if people are a bit =censored=, but please consider, that the organizer are non-military, they are civillian volunteers...

As there were no locals flying yesterday (the reason why I was there...) I am going to the airshow now.

Cheers,
Johnny
