About me

Aviation Photographer

My name is Andreas, I take photos of airplanes. I travel the world, and shoot everything else that’s looks nice. And aviation is my passion. Welcome to my website! And don’t forget, you’ll miss 100% of the shots you don’t take…

Air Defender special scheme comes to Manching. It stayed for around two years on the jet. #tornado #tornadoids #luftwaffe @freundeskreis_luftwaffe_e.v @51tigersschleswig #panavia #panavia_tornado #airdefender #usa #america #usaf #starsandstripes

The Castle Tiger, and a great opportunity to get up close to the jet at the @bavarian_tigers "Spotter Hour" last Friday. The event is always full of surprises, and you cannot go wrong attending it. Of course the public roll out of this stunning special scheme was the highlight of this year's event. @team_luftwaffe public work at its finest, thanks for setting it up! #aviationworld #planespotting #aviationphoto #natotigermeet #castletiger #neuburg #luftwaffe #eurofighter @_fighterflo @eurofighter.typhoon #eurofighter #tigerjet

"Limit Formation" on its way to the Tag der Bundes

"Limit Formation" on its way to the Tag der Bundeswehr 2025. On short notice this photo opportunity came up, just as a dogged cloud layer showed up for take-off. But with a tight schedule and as such a mixed formation of an H145M LUH SOF and CH-53 is quite rare, I did not leave this opportunity out. Thanks to everyone involved in this smooth setup! #TDBW25 #bundeswehr #wtd61 #h145m #h145 #luftwaffe #teamluftwaffe #ch53 #ch53g #air2air #air2airphotography #helicopter #helicopters #formation #formationflying #specialforces #flighttest #ntps @airbus_helicopters #pilotslife #onlywithprofessionals #manching @team_luftwaffe @jvk2206 @xpilots_life @pb_helimedia @das_kommando_spezialkraefte @franky060185 @bap_bavarianaviationphotocrew @nazgul.53 @philippetondeur1

#throwbackthursday inspired by a recent @bap_bavar

#throwbackthursday inspired by a recent @bap_bavarianaviationphotocrew post, this is my take on the special colored Tornado 45+99.
This scheme celebrated 55.555 flight hours of the GAF FTC at Holloman AFB. Photo was taken on a sunny Mew Mexican afternoon in autumn 2009 after its first flight.
More photos of that event are now available on my homepage.
45+99 vaiting for the next Mission...

Waterdrop demonstration by a Ukrainian An-32 at the Piestany airshow. I wouldn't have thought to see an Antonov from Ukraine in an airshow display this year. In this respect @festival_letectva clearly delivered, though the presence of UA Antonovs at Piestany is because they had to flee their home country because of the war brought by Russia. As a disappointment of the show though, the Slovak Air Show failed to send their widely expected F-16s for the fly-by... #Piestany #piešťany #airshow #firebomber #antonov #an32 #an32p #festivalletectva #slovakia #slovakairforce #waterdrop #firefighting

After the recent Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia

After the recent Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian Long Range Aviation airbases, I had to dig out the photos from a unique visit to Engels in 2012. They are included in the most recent report on my website (⬆ link see above in Bio❗). Already back then Russian Tu-160 Blackjets and Tu-95 Bears were rather elusive, and this access to Engels really exclusive. Together with a small group of fellow enthusiasts we had a great day and good access at Engels. Today, watching those photos I can't get the photos of recent targets on Ukrainian territory out of my head... #Engels #engels2 #engelsairbase #tu160 #tu160blackjack #russia #longrangeaviation #engelsairbase #saratov #tupolev #tupolev160

Spring around the Sidewinder low level flying rout

Spring around the Sidewinder low level flying route was quite an experience. After a day sitting in the sunny and arid dessert, I got an F-35 in front of lightly snow covered mountains the next day. What a trip that was... #lowlevelflying #jetsinthewild #fighterjet #militaryaviation #instaaviation #military #photography #militaryaircraft #r2508 #f35 #sidewinder #sidewinderlowlevel #thef35 #f35a #usaf #topside #f35lightningii

"Hands on" experience with the slender Dragon Lady at Osan. Unfortunately the U-2S did not fly during the 2025 edition, but was just presented solely on ground. #OAPD25 #Osan #osanairbase #u2s #dragonlady #lockheedu2 #u2spyplane #blackcats

TORNADO 🔥 doing what it can do best, wings fully swept at 67° and coming in low and fast. German Luftwaffe Tornado caught along the famous Sidewinder low level route during a recent deployment to California.
