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.

16-06-14 Stans (some pics)

Post by stipjes »

After the Phalsbourg Air Show we drove to Stans. On monday the 16th we visited the airfield in the morning. There was some nice activity. The Swiss Air Force PC.6's were dropping off parachutists and there were a few test flights.
Some of the hangars were (shortly) open. In total we read more then 20 military Pilatus aircraft... (with we I ment the other 3 while I guarded the hangars ;-)). Here are the results after some quick editing.

You know it is quite easy to do tours inside Pilatus, legally I mean?

There are NO tours at the moment. Pilatus is too busy. Also taking pictures of the PC-7's and PC-21's are not allowed inside the factory!

Nice shots Patrick!

Regards,

Nitpicking, but the airfield is actually called Buochs and not Stans.
