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.

Raptors over Tallinn (MIL)

Post by Romix »

What a pleasant surprise during my holidays in the Baltic. Last Thursday (4 Sep 2015) we were up in the old town of Tallinn with a great view on the city when I heard the sound of planes, definitely not being the usual passenger planes on their way to Tallinn airport. Had to run to a spot where I could actually see the catch of the day: 2 Raptors, 2 Warthogs and what later turned out to be a KC135 tanker.

Shot is not that good, had to rush to get everything in place in time. (also, forum regulations are in the way)

Too bad they left back for Spangdahlem in the afternoon as we were passing Amari air base on Friday, which was where they were heading when I saw them. Nevertheless, I got more than I was hoping for (A10's at Amari) this trip.

Lucky !!!
It was your day. Like the one I saw a B-52 overhead Phalsbourg AB, performing a non-stop return flight from USA to Lituania... :-D
