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.

Victorville June 2012

Post by SilverWingPix »

Hi all,

A follow up post from my previous post on my trip over Mojave and Victorville. Mojave shots can be seen here:
http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=86641

After leaving Mojave we transited south and then east via Palmdale Airport, where we overflew while a B-2 came in and landed (pics later).
First VCV shots:

Great pictures, I see that the British 757 has a Fedex registration, will this plane used for parts or will it fly in the future for Fedex?

Thanks, since my visit the BA Retro has left VCV for cargo-conversion, I forgot were it went.

Wow, great work! Sad to see so many planes in the boneyard, but nevertheless very cool photos. Love the second-to-last one, with the Tristars and DC-8.
