Does anyone know if on 26 augustus 1989 a lizard F-4G and F-16 from SP were present on the visitorsplatform? It was the same day the Army Open House at the Soldaat Ketting Olivier kazerne.

As to the BT Eagles, 84-0009/BT was there too on the 7th and that one was clearly marked as 53rd TFS.

The Bitburg F-15's noted on 6-8-90 where deployed at Soesterberg to prepare for the (cancelled) William-Tell excercise at Tyndall AFB in september 1990. If I remember well, they had multicolor fintips (red-yellow-blue). The 36th TFW would have attended as a wing, explaining the multicolored fintips on the F-15s.
They even trained a new landing routine, flying in very low one by one, gaining altitude and breaking out to land on short final.
