Two 50th TFW Falcons from Hahn line up just after the barrier (saves the firefighters the trouble of removing it). Hahn flew the PW engined Falcons and Ramstein the GE powered ones.

Wow, that model 204 Iroquois...!!! :shock:

(To me Soesterberg is one of the most photogenic airfields ever, with a high treeline in the background bringing out the colors of the aircraft. I love the pitch black taxi- and runway, and the clear view from pretty up-close with the light coming from behind you....just perfect...)

I stand corrected, it is a B-model. Bit too fast typing on my side!
