February 2022 POTM Competition

Post by reaper493 » Tue Feb 01, 2022 9:14 pm

And it's February already after 438 days of January.

Well go back to three available votes for this month, like Nick said it was a little lop sided.

Competition Rules

1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry.
2. The photograph must have been taken during the month and year in question - February 2022, the date the photo was taken MUST be included in the post.
3. The photo can be of any subject you like, as long as there is some military aviation connection.
4. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
5. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 6th March 2022 (UK time), to enable anyone with last minute entries some breathing space
6. The voting will be carried out by you, the members of FC, by a poll which will be created at the closing of the competition.
7. Moderators/Administrators will not be exempt from the competition, but cannot vote for their own entry.
8. The decision of the moderating team is final.
9. All images must be posted in line with the usual FC posting rules
10. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.
11. Please do not comment on entries other than your own.

Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

I've had a lean month and this is literally the only military aircraft I have seen in February so it's that or nothing and as I always try to support the competition I won't go with the 'nothing option'.

This UAE Air Force C-130 visited Stansted on 10th February and was captured arriving in less than ideal conditions. It was totally without markings and not even wearing a registration but was showing as 1215 on Radar and the Stansted arrival screens
