EHGR 18-11-'08 nightflying with the KNVOL/GRAS

Post by Sven van Roij »

Hi all,

Yesterday I went, with the KNVOL, to Gilze-Rijen airbase. Unfortunately I had to go to school in the morning, so I only have the shot's of the nightflying exercises.

At 21.00 the KNVOL left, however, I could stay with the guys of GRAS: and I loved it. Thank's for this great experience to all of you!

Note: nothing has been cropt or shopt.

Nope, I've only seen the AH-64D and CH-47D's. A few flying Cougars, in the distance.




You've got some great shots too, Patrick. I just love pic no. 5.

Many thanks to the BIC staff and GRAS for organizing, let's hope it can be arranged a second (and third, and fourth...) time! Preferably with full moon and/or a starry night... 8)

Mazzels,
Rob

Hi guys,

A bit late for my contribution, but as I have been away from home I was unable to upload anything.

It was nice to see that GRAS and BIC had taken the time and effort to show us around at night, which was highly appreciated by all of us. Unfortunately the expectations and needs of the GRAS group did not match the program presented to the photographers, so I think a thorough debriefing might help out the organizing committee in setting up a similar event on a future occasion.

I will be happy to share my views and experience with both GRAS and BIC, but face to face and not here at this messageboard.

Below you will find my only fair shot of the spottersnight, and I'm not really satisfied with it (out of focus due to lack of contrast).

Oh, and for the number crunchers: This AH-64D was the Q-09, as read off from my photo...... (how is that for a nigh shot ?!)

Cheers,
Iwan
