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.

ESSA 29/30 May - Iraq Conference Stockholm

Post by Flygvapnet_Viggen »

The last two days a major world-wide conference took place in/nearby Stockholm: the 'Iraq Compact Annual Review Conference'.
A large number of participants was expected from about 90 different countries, my guess was that most of them would arrive by plane at Arlanda. Yet, I haven't seen much government/airforce transports... ... did they all came by car??
Just a lot of sun and guys/girls from the police and security.
As Condoleezza Rice showed up the Airforce2 was there, a Iraqi Airbus brought the Iraq prime-minister and just one handfull of other government planes was there. Here a few pics of these days:

#1 Saudi inbound!

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.
