 | This 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. |
Thanks Daniel, it wasn't a landing, it was an approach. The guys train this procedure sometimes...Daniel Ravenswaay wrote:Nice pics! I never knew Tornado's could land with wings fully swept back, like in picture 3 (bugsbunny88) :-s
. What is the purpose of making an approach like this?I don't know exactly but I think it's to practice difficult control conditions while getting minimal lift. That's also the reason why the aircraft needs more power during this approach. You clearly can hear it...Daniel Ravenswaay wrote:Thanks for your reply Olli. I've never seen it before, that's why I think it's so strange
