A very sleek design, the Thunderstreak-especially without those huge external fuel tanks. Nice one, Rob.

If you're busy with scanning these anyway, would you mind sharing the A-7 that's parked next to it? :-d)

Those are indeed wonderful B&W shots, Rob. Rich in grays, they have a very nice rendering of the clouds.
"Buck Danny"- probably most American enthusiasts like myself have no knowledge of this long-standing comic series. I just did a search to become educated-thanks to Wikipedia for the information.

Back to the shoebox:

Rob, good to see the Soesterberg 1976 show pics! When I think of that day, 2 things come to mind: Lots of rain and the impressive demo by Hans van der Werf. I would love to see a picture of that F-104 too if you don't mind.

cheers, Henk Schuitemaker.

Henk, I have to disappoint you regarding the F-104G demo: I only have a few pics of the D-6695. Unsharp while starting in the rain, and a bit sharper with dragchute after landing.

In those (student-)days I had a cheap camera (Zenith) with a Sigma 135mm + a 35mm lens which was satisfactory for me and my budget at that time, so during this rainy day it was difficult to get good pictures of take-offs and landings.

But I am now editing the slides from this day and show them soon in this very nice topic that Tom started.
Gr,

Rob Martaré.
