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.

Belgian Coast: Koksijde rescue

Post by Wim »

In the morning there was a rescue exercise with participation of the 40th Sqn. We all hoped to see a seaking landing on the beach again, but they've send their new toy, which didn't land on the beach unfortunatly (probably due to the radom under the fuselage...)

Nice shots Wim !!
Yes, the radome is a big problem to land on soft surfaces.
It makes THE big difference with the Army's versions...

Two different helicopters in one topic. Which one do I like the most... hmmm, no doubt it would be the Seaking. :)
