Probably something to do with this ceremony 9 visiting F-16's were parked at nearby Andravida.
Because of the heatwaves we could only indintify 618 F-16D (343 Mira) and 081 (347 Mira).Someone with more luck here ?



Thanks for this very compleet log.
Do you also have a log of the F-104's at the dump? Those were very hard to read of.
The only serials that i could see are:
F-104g:
22303/ FG-303
22311/ FG-311
22314/ FG-314
33638/ FG-638
There were at least 14 more starfighters. I haven't seen the second row in de back because there was no time left and we were end away for the flying program so i only photographed the first row close to the road.
My last question: who can help me whith the real ID of the F-104g marked as FG-303 in a silver c/s. This one was standing behind the 336 sq building. On the dump was also a FG-303 so one has to be fake?

Thanks in advance, ciao Ralph
