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.

Swiss Air Force a gogo Meiringen (part 2 included)

Post by Sines »

As promised and requested some more pictures from this wonderful week in the Suisse mountains. Thanks for all kind words and maybe enjoy some more from my shot taken.

A blazing departure, not 100% sharp but still I like this one for it's angle
Image


Another one taking off from Rwy28
Image


A visiting Tiger from Payerne departing for the mission with a Hornet
Image


Just before leaving the safety area enroute to the runway
Image


The F-5's buddy daprting the 28 as well
Image


A Hornet arrving back at the 28. Taken a few hundred meters up at the sign 'Zaun'
Image


It depends on how many are coming in and where you are standing. It could have been better but happy with the result from where I was standing. Same place at Zaun
Image

Surely just as amazing as the BigBirds!! Maybe even more...
Image


And at Payerne we struck on bad wx, with a 'bit' of heavy over photoshopping it can be quite rewarding
Image


And the Meiringen visitor returned to Payerne
Image


Young & old facing the cold rainy wheather
Image


You wanna know how bad the wheather was.....
Image

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


'Hornet02' departing runway28 making a small bank over the freeway.
Image


We all know this sight from Meiringen
Image


'Hornet09' steeply turning for final to runway28
Image


Another dearture from runway28
Image


Not too many airbases offer an almost perfect view into the pilots working environment.
Image


Feeling hot hot hot, in spite of the cold wind
Image


And a surprice visitor from Payerne.
Image


Company, wheather and interests made this a very nice spotting holliday.

For these shots I used a 40D with 400mm/5.6 + convertor 1.4 and quite frankly this combo seems to work better with the 40 in comparison to the 20D used before.

Some more will follow later.

Bye

Wow great pictures.
Especially like the first 2.

The snow blowing over the mountiantop in the background in the second one really completes the pic.
