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.

DC-3 KLM in Milan Linate

Post by Dysko »

Hi,
in order to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Amsterdam-Rome route, KLM organized a short tour with the Dutch Dakota Association's DC-3 in KLM livery. Few lukcy ones were also able to book a short flight on board this beautiful plane.

The first italian city visited by the DC-3 has been Milan (next cities will be Rome and Venice). Here are some shots from Milan Linate:

Landing after the journey from Basel:

The touristic flight was scheduled for 17:00, but the plane took off an hour earlier catching us by surprise. This photo should have been taken elsewhere, where heat haze should have been a minor problem.

Thank you for watching! :)
