Finland - May 2017

Post by Kevin Martin » Sun May 28, 2017 8:29 pm

Some shots from the Finnish airforce bases of Tampere, Tikkakoski and Kuopio that opened their doors during May as a bit of a recruitment/PR exercise. Most shots are from Tampere as that day coincided with the arrival of the first bit of summer weather, of which the more northern Tikkakoski and Kuopio was yet to experiance.


Cheers for looking;

Kevin

The pure blue skies soon gave way to cloud and a much colder climate for the days spent at Kuopio and Tikkakoski

Hi Kev,
Great set of images.
For me it has to be that lovely Fouga CM170 Magister.
All the best

Super shots - that Magister is a very welcome sight. Had no idea these were in use in Finland. Thanks for sharing.
