    Celeon is back from the Berlin airshow having shot photos and videos worth 2.7 Gigabytes

    Too many people there this time....too many and too hot !

    Im now working on filtering the good ones out. When you have 4 GB and 12 batteries in your armory , you really just push that trigger.

    Messervy has propably shot much better ones which he will hopefully post here.


    Here is a first quick chosen set of photos.

    I will overwork the videos with windows movie maker and post them on my youtube account soon.


    Resolution greatly reduced.

    Taken in the shuttle bus on arrival at Schönefeld. Airbus A380




    Whats better than a B-1 Lancer ? Exactly. Two B-1 Lancers. I feel the "O's" handwriting here




    When Celeon started taking pictures of the u.s airforce......





    ......the u.s airforce started taking pictures of me




    P-51 Mustang





    Her name is "Big Beautiful Doll"





    B-25 Mitchell .. The sound of its engines.....This beautiful sound

    Celeon,
    Very nice pictures. I have seen the "Big Beautiful Doll" P-51 at the air show in Belle Chasse Louisiana. Really nice plane. By all means, keep the pictures coming. I loved the one of the "aircrewman" just taking "innocent" shots of the crowd. Yes, innocent shots.......

    Were there no FW-190s on the tail of the B-25?

    I hate three tings:

    2. Heat
    3. Noise

    Yep, they were there, all of them.

    Here's my quick preview contribution:

    This guy had much better time than the rest of us:



    I wanted to buy a more powerfull lens, but couldn't find it here in Berlin.
    400mm just isn't good enough for the job:

    Great shots so far Celeon & Messervy!

    I look forward to seeing the rest!

    Was it expensive to get into the show I wonder?

    17 mighty Eurons per person. But there are events with much higher prices.


    Ive just finished uploading my first video

    I bet Messervy was feasting on that one


    Display of the Air Mobile Division of the German Army

    Apocalypse Now anyone ?

    10x CH53, 3x Attack Helicopter Tiger, 2x NH90, 2x UH1-D Huey, 1x Messerschmitt-Blohm-Bölkow Bo105. Lots of soldiers, three mini tanks and 4 trucks. Everything coming down from the air.

    Yes they even brought their own air defense with them

    The red helicopter belongs to the Indian airforce team and was just standing near the runway.

    Hehe, you have been warned! Great pics, I'm looking forward to the videos!

    Here's the thread I created yesterday. Now that we have two on the same subject, is there a way they can be merged?

    I'm afraid not - Threads can't be merged. But you two could provide links to other threads in your own threads

    Thanks RJ!

    @Celeon
    Where you were standing, I bet I got you on one of my pictures!

    @Parabellum
    No warning can possibly prepare you for that!
