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.

Longe live exif data! :wink:

I indeed used 420mm; a 300mm lens with 1,4 extender. Mind you, the pic is slighty cropped.

Here's another, uncropped picture of the same plane:

It is not allowed in Germany to take photographs into the base.
Here is the Otter in the air:

evhest,

How is the security at this moment after the threat of an attack?
Is it still easy to make pictures at Ramstein?

To my surprise we had no problems whatsoever with security. Photography is no problem as far as I can tell.

Security at Spang seems pretty tight. MP was seen driving around outside the base and parked in the approach. Also, several guardposts along the fence were manned.

Groet,
Elmer
