That is correct. Here two more pictures of that day with the two RF-4C's in overshoot before landing and the Buccaneer XT280 on the taxitrack before take-off.

Thanks for the reply.

During the overshoot I was still in the car but now I am really happy that I saw them arrive. :D

Emotioneel moment

Snik, Soesterberg gesloten. Vandaag vol emotie door deze topic gebladerd. Ik zou bijna mijn dia's van veel vroeger gaan bekijken (jaren 70-80).

Hi Peter,

Again a lot of good shots!

Here some of mine again, starting in 1993, the last active year of the CR-Eagles, 77-0109/CR on the famous taxitrack caught from out the old oak!
Image
77-0104/CR in a cloudy take off from 09..
Image
77-0100/CR with 32FS commander markings during a small photocall, Oct.1993.
Image
1994 the Eagles are gone but still some nice visitors like this Canberra T17A WJ981/EN from 360sq based at RAF Wyton. A few ones operates in June 1994 from here participating exercise Falcon Nut.
Image
Cambrai Mirage F-1Cs came in for a lunchstop, here 30/12-ZO from EC3/12 on the last-change point.
Image
1995 a small Portugese deployement took place in June here a nice taxitrack shot of A-7P 15544 with it's open refuelling probe.
Image
And finally a good old F-27-300M white colored Troopship C-4 took off....
