Today I went to Nörvenich to see the special c/s of Boelcke's 50th Anniversary. In the morning the special Tonka flew a couple of approaches with the wings in different positions, wheels in or out (it had to land eventually ). At exactly one I was on base to make some nice shots, if it weren't for new clouds coming in. It got better later, but then we were off already to Geilenkirchen. Enjoy these first ones, comments are welcome and more on request of course!
1. First a nice pass with swept wings.
2. Dirty approach

4. 2 more Tornados were setup, too bad they were celebrating because all kind of stuff was hanging on them.

6. They arranged some steps to shoot this sonderlackierung.
7. From another angle (and stairs).
8. Closeup of Herr Boelcke
