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.

I love having the scanner but I am terrible at picking out call signs*, never did get one for the CF-18s. I only saw them take off Wednesday, never saw them land or saw them at all on Thursday or Friday. Funny thing was, the tanker was the only aircraft I saw all 3 days,so I am guessing the Canadian 18s were flying every day.

The CC-150 was using the call sign Husky 04, although I KNOW one time I heard 'Zed Four' over the scanner.


*Although I DID catch the tower 'Knight 01' on Wednesday to line up and wait and my heart rate doubled.
