Was lucky to get a two ship take off with these German F-4's standing at the end of the runway today, too bad they didn't fly in the afternoon

Wednesday Afternoon. The F-4's are grounded due to Ejection seat problems.



























Enjoy, cheers!

What a great show!!!

But... isit not a TEL SA-6 Gainful that I saw behind the F-16 N° J-066 and J-367? Where does it come from? Former NVA, I guess...

Was there yesterday morning, was lucky. Especially with recent developments (volcanic ash, ejection seat check on F-4s). Seen a lot of regular shots, but this was very much a special occasion. Although making old-fashioned analogue I always carry a compact digital. Here are some results.
Some questions on this forum concern the parking situation. It's not bad, but if you're late you have to walk a few hunderd metres.

Most spotters are located on the spotters 'terp'. These terps have been erected as a refuge during floods, especially in Friesland. There were no warnings, but the terp was still overcrowded.

Some try to find that other spot that no one dares to enter. With predictable outcome.

A Klu F-16 may not be that interesting, but being sent away while planes are landing occurs usually only in bad dreams.

Was there a spotter that rented a servicing platform at the famr acrooss the road to get shots from the circuit? It was not not occupied yesterday.

The approach pattern is sometimes crowded with F-16s. First two came in hand in hand due to (simulated?) emergency

The Fins form a somewhat scrappy foursome.
