Sosua, april 1992, my spottingbuddy in the Dominican Rep. during the day, in the evening my diner.
That's the trip with the big hairy spider in your room, right :wink:

Nice pics again, I remember that the very first trip to Czechoslovakia was on 10/09/1988 when two cars visited the Kbely Airshow, our first meeting with Russian hardware.

Keep going,

I remember from this trip, that just after passing the Czechoslovak border we were sleeping in a parking-lot and in the middle of the night we were woken up by the sound of a terrible carcrash. :shock:

For those of you who remember Leo 'Balthasar' Dor(t?)land (big guy from Zeist, 'active' at Soesterberg at least between 1978 and 1981): he was on the '8 uur journaal' this evening as a Flevoland police force spokesman. See http://www.nos.nl/nosjournaal/artikelen ... pagne.html. Geinig.

Mazzels,
Rob

Yes Trueno that was the trip with the (in my eyes) giant tropical spider which ran under my bed and hide there :shock:

About the first trip to Czechoslovakia, I remember to ''sleep'' (it was horrible cold with my type of sleeping bag) with Trueno in a tent and hearing the crash. We went out of the tent and looked along the road but nothing was seen. Next morning we found nothing. I think others found him by now.....

Lesley
