Volkel 27 September 2024 - Final KLu F-16 flight

[Rene Klok]

After 45 years of operations today was the day of the final flight of eight Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16's. What was supposed to be a tour across the country passing all places that have been significant throughout the years was cut short due to very bad weather.
I had positioned myself near the approach of runway 06 hoping to see anything at all. If it hadn't been for this special occasion I would not have posted pics here.

This one came low and fast from behind the trees together with a second one. Took me by surprise.

Understand your point.
In different circumstances you simply would have deleted those images because of "below standard "

I think the pictures are very nice! Espacially because of the historical moment.
