2023 Season Retrospective - Image Heavy

Post by alizam » Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:01 am

Hello All,

Haven't posted in a while as I have been busy with studies however I have some time off to show you what I have been up to during 2023 :)

It has been a very good year overall in terms of military aviation spotting, with plenty of rare gems and great photo opportunities spread across my local airport (Malta), Waddington, Istrana, Konya and the skies above the Czech Republic. Hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did capturing them :)
