The Warthogs landed on Namest Air Base where they will stay till at least Sept. the 21st when the exercise ends. The Hogs will fly CAS missions togethe...

Morning Hans, Thanks for the compliment! Yes I saw the two older guys underneath the yellow tent :-) They were or asleep or standing beside the tent, looking grumpy and not speaking to eachother at all, very funny to watch (really had no idea why they where there, I think he only made a few pics dur...

Nice pics (made just before turning into the Rivage corner?). I was there to, underneath some pics from me: 1. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/Dartstaffel713/GrosjeanRI-01.jpg 2. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/Dartstaffel713/ButtonRI-01.jpg 3. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/Da...

F-15C from the 493rd about to touch down on runway 27 at Soesterberg during their last visit in 2008 during the closing ceremony in November:

Nice ones Maurits, thanks! I do miss those TLP exercises on Florennes, was always nice to have a look there several times a year in the 3rd or 4th week. Here a "Black Panther" short final on the eastern side of Florennes in 2006 or 2007: http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/Dartstaffel71...

Hoi Michel,

Thanks voor je reply en ik zat er inderdaad ook al aan te denken het e.e.a. te combineren.. Toevallig nog een vrij plekje in je/jullie auto voor 1 week UK?

Greetz

Geen enkele fotograaf interesse en/of tijd voor twee, drie dagen Lakenheath eind juni..?

Nice ones Mark, like those Morocco shots with the red houses en mountain in the back! Keep 'em coming guys!

Here a 492nd FS bird just done its last checks and is cleared to line up runway 24 at 'the Heath':

Nice pics Walter and Arthur, thanks for sharing!

F-15E from the 494th "Panthers" about to leave the RIAT on Fairford on Monday in 2008 or 2009:

Nice Peter, like that 'topside' shot of acft 601! Leeuwarden is the place in the Netherlands F-15C/D's can still be found every now and than. The 493rd have good connections with the Dutch 322 Sqn and join exercises like FWIT or Frisian Flag frequently. Here F-15C 86-0176/LN prepares for departure f...

Nice DJ, like those TLP shots (beautifull light) and that air-2-air above sea, beautifull! Keep 'em coming, can't get enough off those Lakenheath Eagles! In November 2008 two F-15C's from the 493rd landed at Soesterberg Air Base to 'celebrate' the closure off this oldest Dutch base and to remember t...

A phototopic about the F-15's from the 48th Fighter "Liberty" Wing, based at RAF Lakenheath, UK. Show the best pics you have from the F-15E Strike Eagles from the 492nd or 494th FS or the "Albino" C/D's from the 493rd (together with a little story 'bout when and where). Let me st...

In de 3e of 4e week van juni overweeg ik om een paar dagen richting RAF Lakenheath te gaan om daar de F-15's van het 48ste te fotograferen (met name de C'tje van het 493rd omdat ik vermoed dat dit niet heel lang meer gaat duren voordat ze definitief terug worden getrokken naar de States). Vanwege he...
