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 Peter, we did shake hands on monday evening (three brothers & friend)...

When we went up on wednesday I was carefull, but not carefull enough, broke my left leg in two places, just under the knee and above my foot, but still managed to get up to Brau... after the show i was 'evacuated' by V-262 to Interlaken

I'll be more carefull next time...

I would like to wish you the best with recovering from your broken leg. :good:

But ... how many people can say they had a ride on the back of a helicopter-pilot and a flight in a Swiss Air Force Alouette III :wink: :D

Nice meeting you again Peter.

Joost, hopefully you have a good recovery!

Has anybody made a shot of this (or the second solo) pass from the Tschingel? It was one of the last shots I made on Thursday... With only 85mm!! I am working on my other pics.

Great pictures you are showing here...perfect.

I wasn't sure if it is ok to put my pictures from the Axalp behind yours and opened a new topic. Maybe you can check them out...

You can find them here...
