Dutch Hunter roling via the rwy 13/31, or the Queens as it was called, towards runway 09/27.

Because Soesterberg housed a USAFE squadron till 1994 (the 32nd FS "Wolfhound"), operating the impressive F-15, two Eagles from the Lakenheath based 493rd Sqn where invited. Here the number two, freshly painted 84-0014/LN, touches down on runway 27 in the beginning of the afternoon.
3.
After landing the pair of Eagles taxied via the November track (north western track between the rwy 09/27 and 13/31) and the Queens to their parking spot on the 300 platform. Here F-15C 84-0027/LN, being the commanders bird from "the Grimreapers", enters the 300 platform via the C2 intersection.

On request from ATC the F-15's left Soesterberg by the end of the day from runway 09, "32nd FS Scramble style" (whenever the 32nd FS had to perform a Scramble, two F-15's taxied out from their Zulu hangar situated on the southwestern part of the base, to depart in a few minutes from runway 09, keeping the aircraft low above the runway till the end to perform a high speed 'on the tail' climb).

Very nice visitor was this Greek Air Force F-4E Phantom II. It was invited because the 32nd TFS flew several years with the F-4E as well (before being replaced by the F-15). After the farewell party it had some technical problems and also the weather did not coöperated, leaving the F-4 on Soesterberg a few days longer than planned. Fortunately on Monday Nov.the 17th there where perfectly VFR conditions (10+, clear blue skies) and around 10.30lt. the Phantom taxied from the cargo platform via the runway towards the beginning of the 09'er.

Last take off ever from a conventional aircraft from runway 09/27 on Soesterberg! After this the Phantom made two low passes above the airfield from west to east, to leave via Italy back to Greece.
. Nice pictures!
