[Henk Schuitemaker]

From FB - Phantom-Pharewell.de :

Update: So leid es mir tut. Eben hat die MIG und die CASA auch auf morgen verschoben. Die griechische F4 ist immer noch in Aviano und kommt heute auch nicht mehr. Sorry, das ist alles gerade erst reingekommen.
Wir sehen uns morgen !!

Update: So sorry I am so. Just moved the MIG and the CASA also on tomorrow. The Greek F4 is still in Aviano and also no longer comes. Sorry, that is came about recently.
See you tomorrow! (Translated by Bing)

Despite the horrible weather. Can anyone give a status update about the accessibility of the spottersareas outside the base?

Can anyone confirm if the Greek F4 will attempt to arrive tomorrow? The Bing translation doesn't give much hope....

Best regards,

Die griechische F4 ist immer noch in Aviano und kommt heute auch nicht mehr.

The German text clearly states that it doesn't come today (heute). From that I assume it will make an attempt tomorrow, but nothing is guaranteed until it actually lands of course.

Er sagt, er kommt HEUTE nicht mehr...(TODAY it won't come anymore...) So probably it will arrive tomorrow at Wittmund! Let's cross fingers!

Can anyone confirm the F-4s will NOT fly on the spottersday but WILL fly on saturday?

Flying info for spottersday is confusing.

...that is indeed correct...

Es findet kein geplanter Flugbetrieb am Spottertag statt.

And on the Saturday 29 June, "der Tag der Offenen Tuer":
http://www.phantom-pharewell.de/tag-der ... uer/zeiten

14:00 Uhr bis 15:30 Uhr Flugprogramm " Phantom Pharewell "

[313TIGER]

That is what I read yes.

While I have a lot of respect for what JG71 is doing for us I wonder how many spotters choose to see them flying for a last time and will go there on Saturday...

But first and foremost I want to thank the Richthofen people for organizing this event!

For any of you who did not visit today.

The static at the east part of the airport is all gated up, so no 'free' photos.
The west part (with all the phantoms) was gate-free today.

9 Luftwaffe Phantoms can be seen:
-JG71 spec Phantom Pharewell
-JG71 retro 72 camo
-JG71 retro 81 camo
-JG71 spec mks - inside shelter
-WTD61 spec ...Let me Fly
-WTD61 current camo
-JG71 current camo - engine runs
