Year in five

Step ladders should be relegated to the back of the crowd or banned completely from airshows. Love the semi-inverted Apache Though everything on here is good. A great idea for a thread just a shame I didn’t get any decent pics last year.

I agree about the step ladders 100% and again thank you for shareing your photos on this thread

Bit of a lucky shot. Some guy stood right at the fence on a step ladder wearing a light hat. This hat got in frame while the plane passed, making it seem as though the Mirage broke through the clouds. Not surprisingly the other shots where this guy blocked the view, and there where a lot, did not work out. Ladders should be banned from the first row at airshows!

These two photos where made at a military low-flying area for helicopters. It’s just north of Eindhoven airport (Oirschotse Heide) and is open to the public. You need to be lucky here. Sometimes there are several helicopters at once, sometimes days can pass between visits. Having foreign helicopters is extremely rare, usually only the Netherlands air force and occaisionally the Netherlands police practise here. When visiting here, please keep to the tree line for your own safety, as alongside the helicopters there are also armoured vehicles and other military heavy equipment operating here.

Didn’t get to many events this year, so not a huge amount to choose from, but here’s five that I like:

Jumpin’ Jacques in the Sywell snow

Extra 300 at Old Warden

Optica at Old Warden

Woburn Moth Rally
