Tiger Meet Poznan-Krzesiny

[david14]

Friday was a rather mixed day - the official spotters' day lacked proper organisation leading to frustrating hours of time wasted, most of which could have been avoided with better planning and communication. The weather was a lot better than the forecast that I saw earlier in the week and there was a good selection of special colour schemes - even the RAF tried!

There were a lot of people there (I heard 2000!), and the location to the north of the runway created some serious challenges for photography as the sun moved around. The helicopters were parked way down the other end of the field and not all of them came very close when I was there. But ... it wasn't a bad location and gave decent views of the action - better than most of the NTMs I've been to before.

Here's a selection of the fighters and some of the visitors

Respect for dragging something out of this event! Based on your images & comments it turned into quite the F***-fest I predicted when the 'locals' took-over the (dis)organisation
At this stage I'm really glad I binned this charade before paying for tickets & the butt-clenching wait for them?

Looks ok to me - decent assortment of jets

Kind of wish I had gone and done the tiger meet from outside as I needed 3/4 of the Greeks

Thanks guys.

I'd summarise my feelings on it as terrible organisation, but I would probably regret it if I hadn't gone
