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.

Ramstein 8-2 braving the blizzard

Post by Ergo01 »

It wasn't so bad as in US Northeast, but we needed some courage.
Flying was not bad with busy local traffic, two KC-10s and arrivals of all three Galaxy versions.
Landstuhl helos did approaches:
075 during a snow shower

Local Gulf during of the short spells of sunshine.

McGuire C-17 is losing paint

Several Hercules returned from unknown destinations for the weekend.

Other flying objects. Great white herons were seen, and the nicest of all: a kingfisher

Yes, shrubbery and trees have been cut.
To have a good view on what's happenig at the fence (for the authorities).
For spotters, to not have trees or branches on photos, and to have a clear view of the approach.
So we're working hand in hand.
