I'd imagine that the response you've got (re; taking pix at the perimeter) will be commonplace with terrorism ruining things for us genuine enthuiasts - Gawd knows they've even cancelled all the wonderful USAF airshows over here that used to be so commonplace (with Camo'd F.4's in abundance at one time !).
"Yes go ahead, but don't touch the airplanes, and don't point the camera towards the base itself." That was reasonable. |
Have always found that asking at the gate guard house and suggesting that you shoot from inside away from the base was always met with success. When travelling in the UK in the 80's I was always extended every courtesy. The folks at Leauchars in Scotland even suggested a spot off the road where I could take shots of the 4 minute readiness hard shelters. Andrews AFB always used to let visitors in to visit the ANG...
that has changed. Eglin and Langley were always fun places. Tends to be how you ask, who you ask, and the state of readiness. Asking for the Public Affairs or Officer of the Day tends to work.
