Hi Joost,

great pic, with the 'centro storico' of Bergamo in the background. Was it taken from one of the parking decks?

Bas

Please keep them coming Michael! Great to see some exotic stuff between all the "EHAM" topics.

Bas

Some great pics of some great aircraft and paintschemes. I find it a pity though that your border (which in itself is quite nice and different) cuts of a lot of tailtips and pitot tubes.

Bas

Wow, St Maarten eat your heart out! Any info on the number of movements per day there?

Kind regards,

Bas

This is a license build example, so just 1053, i believe it was Kawasaki who constructed these, they don't have a 70- number

Looking at the logo at the bottom of the c/n plate, I guess it was Mitsubishi who constructed the chopper.

Great shots Paul, supersharp.

Bas

Great shots in this report! But the page-effect....I always hated this in my plane books (Ospreys and the likes) so not my thingy on a flat screen for sure. Keep those shots from Aviano coming though!

Bas

Nice vortexes on that Herc! And good pic of the Saudi too by the way.

Bas

I don't mind a decent airshowbabe once in a while....I agree with Flanker though that dumping 50 pics here is hardly the way to go, especially as half of them seem to be out of focus.

Hi Joost, Ik gebruik zelf de D80 in combinatie met de 70-300 zoom (met VR). Een vaste 300mm F4 zou normaal gesproken nog scherper moeten zijn dan mijn lens. Ik heb onlangs nog in de landing geplaat op Florennes met deze combinatie en geen enkele plaat hoeven weg te gooien wegens onscherpte. Aan de s...

O.k., point taken. But that message doesn't mention the other runway being active now....

Bas

Thanks Thijs, for your quick and clear reply. I didn't know the other runway at Ramstein was back in use. In fact, I checked the map on this site and there the other runway still has the crosses, indicating that it's not operational.

RUNWAY 08/26 CLOSED. 24 JUN 08:43 2008 UNTIL 15 AUG 07:00 2008. CREATED: 24 JUN 08:47 2008 Hi Thijs, I am a little confused, maybe because I am not exactly a NOTAM specialist. I've seen movements in this post from june 28th, yet I understand from the NOTAM in your post that Ramstein is closed from ...

I hope you're gonna stick to photography much longer, so you'll be able to show more reports of this quality. Personal favourites: Eagle take-off and topside shots, CH-53 banking and AH-64 side-on. But I like 'm all!

Nice shot Boudewijn. Been there myself too on family holiday, but unfortunately it was dark when we were at the airport. We did a fly & drive through the area though and found some nice mil stuff on the way. Have you been anywhere else? BvO I think I'm older than you, so I claim the right to use thi...
