Can you tell us more on your equipment ? You must have used something like 600 or 800 mm??
I'm using a Nikon D850 + 500mm f4 (the exif data is available in the photos).

And thanks again for the nice feedback!

Melun-Villaroche 2023 (updated)

Last weekend we combined the Belgian Air Force Days (Fri and Sat) with Air legend in France on Sunday. Needless to say it was quite a hectic weekend, but worth every drop of sweat :sunglasses: . Stars of the show in Melun were of course the vintage jets, but also the other warbirds put on a good sho...

Meiringen AB

On the third day of Axalp Fliegerschiessen , we stayed down in the valley and visited Meiringen AB. As usual, there were a lot of heli movements bringing all the 'VIPS' to the shooting range. The base itself is very accessible, with a lot of nice photo opportunities. You can even cross the runway on...

Normally the traditional sunset show is being held on Friday evening, but this time they shifted it to Saturday. Unfortunately it became a very wet edition with a lot of rain and thunderstorms throughout the evening, resulting in a lot of acts being cancelled or limited to some passes. But luckily t...

The absolute highlight was the commemoration of 75yrs D-Day and this theme, or the liberation of Europe in general, came back during most of the airshows and events.
