PS: As topics on this messageboard disappear after a while, would it be a good idea to set up a special page with loads of photos from Soesterberg (or any other airbase) ? Ik know that Valkenburg already has one...[/quote]

Good idea Iwan!,

I just want to say: I LOVE THIS TOPIC.

Since 1982 I'am a spotter, and I remember most of the pics.

What a wonderfull time.

Greetings Arie

Yes, I'm addicted too.
The 1981 Open Day brought some scenes not likely to be repeated at present.

F-111E being added to the static on pre-show Friday, right amidst the public. I remember the pitot tube was still warm.

Hope the pilot doesn't mind having his picture here after more than 25 years...

We had four types of fighters operational in this country.

You did not have to look upwards for a low pass.

USAF transports did not necessarily have to blend in with the landscape.

Display lines were right over the runway and we still had a natural number of blond people in Holland.
Come to think of it, the weather seems to be one of the few things unchanged...

so nice to see all those pictures again. Brings back a lot of memories again. Luckily you don't see a blond kid with a pocket camera walking in the crowd there

Here some more

Sorry for the bad quality on this one but it was the first and only time I saw a Turkish C-160 Transall

Couldn't resist. Not the best quality (scans from hardcopy) but nevertheless:

and the last ones for today:

This C-135C took off from runway 13 straight towards the spottersplace. Nice view with those smokey engines

That's because these pictures were in the '90's

Damn, this F-111E pilot looks like George W.Bush
