Scramble in progress (NL 11nov07)

frank kramer · Post by **frank kramer** » 11 Nov 2007, 16:11

the teletext message translates roughly into what was already discussed in this thread: 2 F-16's out of Leeuwarden were scrambled to intercept a helicopter that was flying without comms over the southwestern part of Holland. Overhead Almere one of the F-16's (or both) went supersonic. Apparently several windows in (my home city) Almere were blown to bits by the bang.

My windows weren't, though

Oh well, how else to put some action in an otherwise rather dull sunday-afternoon

... These Alpha-scrambles ARE getting more and more expensive, however

All posts on this now moved here.

Edit:
Om e.e.a. leesbaar te houden verzoek ik iedereen om zelfs bij een Scramble in het ter zake doende forum te posten (dus niet in Schiphol-movements voor een knal boven Woerden bv.

) en in de gaten te houden waar het in het Engels moet.

Dank!

Erik

I was taking a walk and saw them fly overhead Den Dolder back to the north again, about 15 minutes ago. Also heard the sonic boom here.

So many people complaining of a sonic boom.

Used to hear `m at least once a week when the 32th was still flying Phantoms.

I just hate it that i missed the booomboooom cos i was in Deventer instead of Amersfoort.
