Not my most perfect scan , but still a rather special one : Italian Air Force Starfighter 51-02 captured during take-off from Soesterberg on October 26th , 1995 ; it seems to me that a hatch door on the front fuselage has been left open : can anyone of you tell me if that was sometimes perhaps common procedure at the time or has something gone wrong at the Cross Servicing... ? :sleeping:

On the G-model, this access panel could only be opened on the ground, for inspection, etc. On the Italian S-model, it could be opened and closed from the cockpit by the pilot, to allow more air into the engine during take-off. Here's two from Grosseto, Piero taking-off with the intake-doors open (he now flies as number 4 with Frecce).

What a relief , Mickey! Thank you for your explanation ; I really thought for a moment that something was not quite in order with that Italian 104.
By the way , happy anniversary RNLAF ! Here is your (second) present :

According to this RCAF site it did exist http://www.rcaf.com/aircraft/fighters/s ... erials.php. It was originally the 104841, but the serial was changed especially for a photoshoot (probably when they took that pic as well) according to another subpage of that site

http://www.rcaf.com/439squadron/TIGER/439album-9a.htm

And of course after all these great pics up to the last one I have to add one myself, not too old, but she does look beautiful to me.
