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.

Hi,

Dual use airport with mainly military activity. Only few commercial flights a day. There is also nice little museum with interesting frames. I'll post pictures from the museum soon.

Nice set! Believe it or not... I have a K64 slide of the Voodoo taken in April 1992..... I don't think the pilots have been replaced since! :wink: :lol:

I can tell you that this Voodoo is being kept in pristine condition. One of not many airplanes on display with the actual pilots inside :)

I've seen 5 on my last day there. But they came for the SAR graduation party.

On the 25th of may I noticed two Hornets departing on what could have been a QRA mission. Did not see them return however.
