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.

A shame about the covers on the Frelons/Z-8s, but some good photography considering the circumstances! Image

I visited the Changbeishan (along with maybe 10 Dutch people and several hundred Chinese) and took some pictures:

I notice that the 4-digit serials on the Z8's lefthand side are just behind the cockpit, while on the righthand side those serials are presented on the tailboom:

Now I have a full report online on my website http://www.fly-by.nl
