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.

My spring holiday in the persian gulf

Post by PH-BRAD »

Good morning,
Yesterday I arrived from Dubai. I've made a cruise in the gulf, the same route as this one: http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=59068

The route was:
AMS-DXB. (KL0429)
Then:
Dubai (UAE) - Mascate (Oman) - Fujairah (UAE) - Abu Dhabi (UAE) - Bahrain - Dubai. ( With Cruise Ship, the Costa Luminosa).
And then:
DXB-AMS. (KL0430)
Here is the aviation side of my photo's...
((Some pictures aren't that good quality but because of the smog/fog, i've post them because they were special to me. I'll delete them if the someone has complains about it)

Very nice Brad, I hope you enjoyed your stay as much as I did!

The view of the airport hotel looks very nice, too bad I've spent that first day at Dubai walking around. (although it's a beautifull city, But I was awake for like 30 hours at the end of that day).
The bahrain

We both haven't seen any aircraft at Abu Dhabi, too bad. Although I have seen a C-130, but way too high.

The Flight Deck photo is awesome, very nice that the KLM crew is so kind to let you take some pictures.

Photo 6 looks like a Gulfstream Aerospace C-20H Gulfstream IV like this one: http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-p ... 598388.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Only it's carrying a kind of pod on the belly..

Kind regards, Jeffrey.
