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.

Hi Olli,

Nice shots from a base you quite rarely see pictures of. Are all pics taken from the outside? And how careful do you have to be there to take these shots? I thought Wiesbaden used to be a rather 'sensitive' place for pictures.

Nice pictures due the bad light conditions I like the RC-12X never saw a beech with so much antennas.
Is the RC-12X based at Wiesbaden?

Thanks for all the nice comments. These pictures are taken on 3 different days. Normally this airfield is very quiet, but sometimes you can get rare things, like this week. All these aircrafts are not based in Wiesbaden. Local flights are showing UC-35, C-12U and RC-12X/K.....
