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 there,
spent some days in Switzerland, and - of course - took some time to visit some airbases.
Here some pictures.

Hope you like them:

Nice pics. Obviously you've been more lucky with the weather than I was a week before!

thanks guys for the positive comments.

I visited Payerne already on the 8th, and yes I can assure you I was very surprised to see that Mirage turning onto the taxitrack (just for a dry run and parachute testing). Was defintely there on the right time.
Will post some more pictures later.

Hi Sjaak, it seems we were at Emmen almost on the same moment: I was at the spotterscorner (Hunter) when that T784 rolled out for the take off when you catched it turning onto the runway.
And yes: very lucky with the weather :D

That's indeed a coincidence, I was lucky enough to get the Cessna with a fair amount of sunshine while lining up :D
