Telemark Airshow 2023

Located a couple of hours outside of Oslo in the Telemark region of Norway, Notodden Airport plays host to a small airshow in the last few years. A worsening weather forecast and emerging cancellations didn't give me the highest hopes in the morning, particularly when the Sea King was announced to h...

Re: Försvarsmaktens Flygdag, Ronneby Sweden

Have you been to Ronnenby before? How is it to shoot from the outside of the base - I'm thinking at Hasselstad?

Radom Airshow 2018

First show in a year, different and similar to Sanicole in many ways. The hype was huge and before the show it did seem like the wheels were coming off with unfortunate timings and poor weather forecasts. The weekend was quite similar and it just seemed like one of those events where you just had to...

Sanicole Weekend (Updated)

Spent the weekend at Sanicole & Kleine-Brogel with Dean, arriving in the miserable rain which ended up disappearing on Friday evening and not returning again during the weekend. Quite a relaxed and enjoyable show so plenty of time to relax although the Friday and Saturday were a little bit disjo...

Re: Roskilde Airshow 2017

It really is refreshing to see things you can't see anywhere else. And I make a mental note to make this show at some point in the future. I'm looking forward to the next show in 2019 - I missed the Friday evening and Sunday shows but next time I also know the outside spots too. If you want any inf...

Roskilde Airshow 2017

Every two years the Danish Air Force hosts their main airshow at one of the military bases on the western island of Denmark. In between those two years, a smaller show is held at Roskilde Airport, a small civil airport about 30 minutes from Copenhagen. It has attracted some interesting items in the ...

Ultimately I'm sure DBH would have loved the B-2 all three days, but it's not their decision to make, nor possibly the decision not to publicise it. Exactly this. DBH are on your side in most (if not, all) cases. Anything that happens which goes against that is usually down to compromises made from...

Re: United Airlines...

What I don't understand is that when overbooking has occurred on flights I've been on abroad, you usually receive a ticket that says STBY - or without a seat number. So you know already that it is the case and at the gate, you will receive a seat or be told that it has been overbooked at the gate. W...

Re: Catch the Polish Mig-29's and Su-22's while you can!

I would imagine the money they have spent over the years on upgrades will be recouped by having a single-type fleet for maintenance. I imagine it takes a while to negotiate these deals and if you don't upgrade what you have and it falls through, then you end up with an even bigger problem.

With an external flashgun, you can bounce the light off the roof giving lighting to your nearby surroundings but maintaining the outdoor lighting providing the scenery.

The biggest barrier is the individual themselves - give it a go who cares if you get it wrong, get off at the wrong stop or two on a train etc no one is judging you. Totally agree!

No stupid side shows or stalls which aren't aviation/ photography related. It's not a photography show though?
