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.

Zwaantjesdag (MIL)

Post by Wim »

On Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September the Federal Road Police, which is located next to the E-40 highway in Jabbeke, opened its doors to the public. On Friday it was nice weather and mainly schools visited the complex, so it was a nice and calm event. We were treated with a SAR-demonstration of both the NH-90NFH in the morning and the Sea King in the afternoon. In 2012 a new meteorological radar tower of 46m high was build next to the highway. As the SAR-demonstrations were to be held just next to the tower, we braved the 230 stairs to have an exceptional view of the demonstrations. We went back on Saturday for the demonstration of the Sea King, but the weather was overcast, and off course a lot more people visited the tower which made it a lot more difficult to make good pictures.
