La Ferté-Alais - 11/06/2011

Post by SpottairBRU »

Dear Luchtzakkers,

Finally, I found the time to make a selection amongst the 1500+ pics I took on 11/06/2011 at the Airshow "Le temps des hélices 2011" ("Propellers time") held on 11th and 12th of June. This airshow is a must see for all old airplanes lovers (and for the others, there are also a few jets and modern props as well ;) ). La Ferté-Alais airfield is a grass field on a hill surrounded by woods, 50km South of Paris. The airshow is very photographers friendly, and you can stand/sit very close to the planes.

Here are 15 of the pics I took on the Saturday:

Superb pictures.

But (5th picture) did you witness a crash or was it just a demonstration of firefighters?

Thanks!

It was not a crash, just a simulation of an air-to-ground attack by the T6's

Wow, Bjorn, very nice pics! From the angle you took some of yours, I'm sure we were pretty close from each other (were you too on the left hand side of the "runway", around 100m on the right of the helicopters?).

That's funny, I've sometimes exactly the same pics as yours, albeit of a lower quality (still learning how to use my gear :lol: ). Glad you'll be back, it was my second time there, and it is still the same "magic"! I cannot recommend it enough to all aviation-lovers: you must go to La Ferté-Alais at least once!

By chance, were there other Luchtzakkers that week-end?

Yes we were approximately at the same place... however we were only there on SUN.
Actually there were 2 Belgian guys with two boys (approx 10-12y) next to us. Wasn't you was it?
