Henk, the crash of one Canadian CF-104 on the German Autobahn was in May 1983, during a airshow at Rhein Main. The aircraft hit one car killing a complete family; two three adults and two childerenHenkS wrote:Rob, I like that Canadian one a lot! I will never forget their 4-ship display team flying on the 1979 Ramstein airshow. Unfortunately I only have a few dodgy black & white pics of that day... I believe one of them crashed on the Autobahn during another show in Germany.
cheers, Henk Schuitemaker
Hi Henk,HenkS wrote:Stefan, thanks for this one ! It scores high on my list of 104 flashbacks. Taking a picture was impossible until the show was over and the German collegues asked for permission to remove the fences. And still then it was a bit nerve wrecking: The base people wanted to put back the fences or tow the 104 away but everybody wanted to wait for the sun to come out from between the clouds. And then you had to do careful positioning to avoid the usual 50mm mob...
PS: Did you manage to get a decent shot of the Italian MM6844/37-03 ? It was the first 37° Stormo 104 I ever saw but fenced in all day too. Somehow I missed the un-fencing moment (if it ever took place).
