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.

Trip Switzerland 22 - 26 September MIL

Post by Jutter »

Initially the plan was to go to Austria, but because it seems that they don't fly a lot we changed the plan into Switzerland.
The weather forecast was quit good so we planned to go camping. We stayed at the camping in Buochs. From here we drove to all the airfieds we visited.

every day we stopped by the Pilatus factory to read the serial numbers and if possible making some photos.
All the numbers we read at Pilatus are compiled into one (week)log.

Patrick,

The Diamond DA42 was taken from the tent 'doorstep' at the camping. It was early morning and very grey, but managed to make the picture quite better. When I enlarged the foto on my camera I noticed that it is a military one. Just took the photo to check the light conditions!!!
Saw the same aircraft twice at Emmen as well but we were not in the right position to make a pic. It was parked at or near the RUAG facility.
