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.

Thanks guys!
@ Snipes - Spotting there is very good. You have to drive to a big mountain with just some houses, and you can walk to the fence. From the fence you can see the whole field, including close action of the F18's.

Here is a pic of it, taken from the hill.

Nope, no problems, friendly waves from the police behind the fence!

Thank you! There is only 1 F27 left at Gando, saw him in his hangar when I arrived. As far as I know, 2 of 3 Spanish F27 stopped flying already, and this last example will stop at the end of this summer, I don't saw him flying when I was spotting..

Jos
