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.

Fairford + Brize Norton June 15 - 18

Post by Jutter »

I went from Sunday 14 until Thursday 18 to Fairford to see the B-52's. Only one B-52 flew a day and on Tuesday there wasn't any flying at all. Al action we saw then was painting of runway and taxi ways. So, Brize Norton which is only 10 miles away was worth some visits as well.
On Monday and Wednesday B-52 take-off was around 11.30 and landing near 18.00. Thursday take-off time was 08.00. After take-off I went to Brize for the last hour of spotting as I had the boat to catch.

Great catch Menno :clap:
Funny that your initials are put on the B-52's tails.

Greetz.
