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.

Geilenkirchen ETNG 16-08-2012

Post by Snipes »

Was at Geilenkirchen for a few hours, because I was on vacation nearby. A KC-135 just came in when I started the car to go away :evil: . So just some private Cessna's and a German Navy P-3C. I caught the E-3 on my way back and pulled over to photograph it.

Hi Wesley,

do you have a picture of the P-3 with the serial visible??
We are still looking for the identity of this P-3.

Second Orion shot shows 01 in the right nose wheel door, which would make it 60+01? :wink:

That's what I noticed as well, but looking for some confirmation.
60+01 visited GK the day before (as well), but it's mode S appears to be inop.

So you think the 01 in the nosewheel door is less reliable as his mode-S report ?

No, sorry, was standing at the wrong spot with too much mm's...But it could be the 01 as it was present at Büchel also that morning.
