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.

Must have been a bit bouncy that landing... :wink:
I guess the Polish one tried a "three-pointer"? :)

The second of the two Polish on tuesday afternoon came in extremely fast. After this other aircraft got a delay via the ILS due to parachute on the runway that needed to be removed first. Not sure if this is the one on the picture.

In the morning mission the polish came in very low altitude before touchdown.

Shutterspeed was 1/200 so no problem. As said, I used to much noise reduction. At the moment I do not have time to re-edit my pictures. Regards Dennis
