TLP 2008-5 Florennes 10.10.2008

[MigF4]

Hi gents,

I was on Friday @ Florennes, and as I was working yesterday, I will post as well a few shots now.

The only dissapointed moment and a nightmare for every photographer was, when after the second inflight emergency the Crash crew plus a base photographer hold there position and parked direct in front of us frustrated The result you can see also.... and I bet 100 of photos will have them also in there pictures too

Luckily the weather was stunning so we were able to get some decent shots on that sunny day...

So enjoy them and c & c are more as welcome....

Cheers,
Mick

Great pics thanks for sharing:
Was the fire brigade truck parked in front of you during the recovery?
I had the same experience during a TLP 2008-4 mission

Hi gents,

thanks all for the comments

@henkderidder

Indeed the crash truck was most of the recovery parked in front of us, after the second inflight emergency came in

And as my personal highlight were indeed the Spanish EAV-8´s , here are some more goodies - especially when I see now the weather outside!

Cheers,
Mick
