Amazing pics!! BTW, the badge worn on the tail of the Daggers (and on the chest of the crew chief..) resembles the 86th TFW/FW/AW emblem. What's the reason for this? Was this 32nd FIS (maybe administratively) attached to the 86th during this period?

I'll look that up for you. This is the same patch the crew chief was wearing, the Wolfhounds patch of the 32nd Fighter Interceptor Squadron. I obtained it during a visit to Camp New Amsterdam in 1967 and I still have it in my possession.
The 32nd FIS was attached to the 86th AD (Air Divison) from 1960 untill 1969. From there it was attached to the 17th AF (Air Force). Hope this helps...

It certainly does, Holloman.
You were just ahead of me.

I see them fine, it's just that those 'hurt' a little more than the other 'painful' images..!
Having said that, my own stuff parked on what is now Ziggo was n/a yesterday. Fingers crossed that was an incident (it is, so far).
This RNLAF F-84F Thunderstreak stood on static display during the open house at Soesterberg AB on June 17th 1967.
Also present was the RNLAF F-104G Starfighter D-8093.
Seen from a different angle, showing the dummy Sidewinder and the canon.
Also on static display, RAF Lightning F2 XN780H.
RNLAF Alouette III A-254 and Hunter Mk.6 N-283. The Hunter pilots often wore silver helmets.
Canopy of a RNLAF Hunter Mk.6. The chronometer was used to make the right 'Time On Target'.
RNLAF Alouette III A-254 is showing the display date.
Both Alouette IIIs made a flying display during the open day.
N-320, the only camouflaged RNLAF Hunter T.Mk.7. The other T.Mk.7s had a polished aluminium skin with dayglow bands, like the display Hunter T.Mk.7 N-321 which is present at Leeuwarden AB. Photo Dick Barendregt, collection Ragay.
