Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Some 90s pictures of Leeuwarden AB

Post by maurits »

Hi all,

Because we didn't have a 80s and 90s photo-topic of Leeuwarden, I would like to start with some shots of mine. In 1995, 1996 and 1999 the US Navy took part in the FWIT and Frisian Flag exercises with their Tomcats and Hornets.

Tomcat 160406.AC-204 on approach with a KLu F-16 in the background:

Two Tomcats 163227/AB-103 and 162692/AB-105 from VF-102 on the runway:

here AB-103 in front, what a big nose!
Image

In October 1999 also two EA-6B Prowlers took part, here 163395/AB-501 taxiing to the runway just after a big rainshower

In the summer of 1993 two Angelholm F10 J35J DRakens passed Leeuwarden for a fuelstop on their way to a show in Ireland. Here 35586/62 on approach:

Brother 35589/48 taxxiing out after receiving new fuel:

In the summer of 1994 the KLu Open Dag was held here, with temperatures above 30°C this Czech Air Force MiG-23 Flogger flew a marvelous demo:

Portugese A-7P Corsair 15537 arrived a few days earlier:

Hope you like them!
