Isn't this an F15??[/quote]

Well, with those back swept wings and air intakes I don't think so... I really think it's a tornado. Wich also wouldn't be so weird, as we're actually surrounded by the UK and Germany who both own Tornado's.

When I look at it, the back of the tail is straight down,while a Tornado has it leaned back.
As the USAFE flies with the F15, it wouldn't be so weird either ;-) Let's make it a poll, LOL 8) :lol:

Sorry Jeffrey, but the reason of Burry AND the knowledge that the air-intakes of the Tornado are nót being over the whole height of the trunk, and by an F-15 well, so i think...

doesn't matter, always nice to see militairy :P

Alright then! I surely believe it if you all say it. Makes me wandering what a F-15 does above Holland all alone :wink: But alright.

@ Tyno: thought the radar told me United Airlines. I've seen the Beluga as well, it was much furder away then your shot (I was at former EHSB).

Nice catch Martijn. :worship:
I presume this one crossed last sunday? I had good hope it would receive a shortcut unfortunately it routed over western Holland :(
Conditions however were quite good so there were enough other beauties. One from me:
