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.

The location of the Shanghai Aerospace Enthousiasts Center is behind Jinjiang Amusement Center, located at No.201, Hong Mei Road, Shanghai 201103. When you're in front of the entrance to the amusement park, take a left and then right and walk along the outside of the park. After about 10 minutes you reach the SAEC, on your right, behind some buildings.

Another place worth visiting is the China Aviation Museum in Datangshan, about 50 kms from Beijing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datangshan" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

I assume you mean the pitot tube. It is folded upwards to save space (and probably to prevent people from hitting it). This is standard on the plane by the way, not something done only in museums.

This so funny, the sign on the pitot-tube says, " watch out, mind your head!" great detail for scale modelling!

anyway, the park is basically the same since I visited it back in '88.

what happened to the Pakistani Beaver? Used to be parked under the DC8 port wing????
