Een kwartier geleden stond hij er nog. Kan iemand mij een dig foto toesturen? Wilde zelf een foto maken ...... bleek mijn accu leeg te zijn. En had ook mijn reserve accu niet bij mij

Nice surprice was that the pilot cam to the fence for a small talk. He told us he and 2 other pilots where underway to Afganistan. He presented some patches and canopeners. Very nice thanks
