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.

Johannesburg International Spotting

Post by EC »

It was time for another trip. Together with Maarten SR this time I made a visit to Johannesburg mid March.

The weather was a mix of bright sunshine, heavy thunderstorms and everything in between.

Here is an opening batch of impressions:

Straight of the plane, 06.30 in the morning still in the walkway:

Mooie foto's Eddy!
Ik begrijp uit de platform foto's op JNB dat er nog steeds een promenade is? Vergelijkbaar met SPL?

(English translation for non Dutch speaking visitors)

Nice pictures, Eddy!
When looking at your ramp photos at JNB, is there still a promenade deck, like at SPL?

met groet (greetings), Ger

Great pics! Really!

By the way: I don't think that the BA One World is a Boeing 747-300! :wink:
