[vid]F-117's at Gilze Rijen 1993
A short video I made of some footage I saved from a 20 year old(hence the poor quality) VHS tape: Central Enterprise 8th June 1993. I was 15 at the time I made this video with a big VHS camera. Don't pay attention to the screaming spotters, they were just a bit over exited by the visit of the F-117's. Guess we all didn't believe they were really coming ...

Very nice to see some moving images of this deployment again. I have a few photographs of them but they were taken in the evening, during sunset. Still good memories though. Thank you for posting!

Great video, and almost even better speeches in the background, really funny.
Wonder what kind of aircraft can get you just as excited nowadays as the F-117s did than.
Cheers,

Real big thank you for posting this!
Brings back so many memories and if not mistaken recognize some of the voices as well If remembering well I was there with the famous 'Otto' and we arrived very very early with the lawn chairs waiting and having one of the best days ever.
Melchior, to answer your question nowadays I expect these same reactions when there would be a deployment of this of old aircraft in these numbers compared to, in those days, new aircraft.
Again a big thank you,
Dennis
