Photocall Niederrhein 28 June; wfu F-104s

Post by Stefan »

Hi,

Saturday 28 June 2008, between 10.00 and 17.00 lt

Photocall to picture the F-104s at Niederrhein; KG+101 and FX52. Positioning the third (Belgian) F-104 in front of its shelter is still under consideration.

In front of their shelter, no barriers, etc. Ideally positioned for photography!

Bring your own drinks and food!

To visit; follow the "Alte Zollstrasse". This road passes through a small urban area and ends at a crash gate. This gate will be open to gain access to the base.

Greetings,
Stefan

I am only the messenger here, but I guess that it is up to the crowd attending to show their ability to cooperate and their respect for others...

Only for those organising it.

The event is for what is mentioned above. Despite other a/c being present at the base.

Almost correct: apart from F-104G's KG+101 and FX-52 (tiger c/s) that were on display during the airport days and that will be on the photocall, four more ex-military aircraft are stored at NRN since April. These are Belgian Starfighters FX-69 and FX-70 and Belgian CM170 MT-9 and French CM170 427/(4-WA). However, these are all stored inside the shelters and are probably not to be shown outside untill they have had various (serious) amounts of restoration work done.

All in all, it's starting to become an interesting Belgian AF preservation site... anyone care to base a few BAF Mirages as well ? :wink:

Always going forward... still can't find reverse!
