Gateguard Florennes

Post by witje »

Is there a new gateguard at Florennes?
I believe I saw a F-84F iso the Mirage V.
If yes, what is his ID? Fu-103??

FU-66 was it's reg. It was barely visible from the right side, but on the left side it was 'clearly' visible.

EDIT: just found out that FU-103 is the real registration. By the way, anybody for the F-16 mounted on a pole?

F-16 most likely is the FA-47, FA-05 has recently been placed on a square close to the TLP ramp
