Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.

Here are a few more pics from the early eighties when Gilze-Rijen still was a fighter base. All photographs taken between 1981 and 1984, some during the Tactical Air Meet (1984), others during rotations or just an ordinary day at Gils.

Yeah! Great memories indeed! I even went to Gilze on my bike (from Twenthe), just to be part of this (and to save money which I did not have being 14 and having spent it on 2 "tienertoers")! Must scan my slides as well.

Thanks!

never forget, was my first time I saw an MS-760... and the 4-ship of CF-104's in the break.... hhm.. sounds like I already know how to start a dream tonite :-)

I'd say TAM'84 is a real legend of its days...

Great shots. Any images of 32nd TFS/FS Wolfhounds aircraft at Gilze-Rijen would be great too. Anyone?

Yes, I also remember the TAM very well. Here a Canadian CF-104 and RAF Phantom coming in to land. I also remember the Red Arrows performing at the closing day or is my mind playing tricks now?
