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.

Warthogs at Nordhorn Range 5th March 2015

Post by Niek »

Today we were happy to see the might A-10 returning to Nordhorn Range.
In the morning EVIL1 and 2 already visited the range. However, after 2 bomb runs they had to abort due to a malfunction.
In the afternoon they returned and worked their full program, including strafing.
Let's hope they liked it, as we surely did!

Thanks for sharing. Watching the pictures I can feel the ground shaking, just like the good old Nordhorn times. After miles of cycling spending hours and days at the range looking at attacking aircrafts. Jaguars, Buccaneers, Harriers, Alpha Jets, F-104's, Tornado's and so on, and so on.

Nice report Niek.
Bring back the good old times, and no more PC-9's at the range simulating as being an A-10!!!!

Let's hope they liked it, and come more often here!
