Beauties, Dino

Grtz,
Dick

I love that Italian F-104 with brakechute and nice old tower in the background, Dino.
Amazing pic!


Grtz,
Dick

Most beautiful picture of a Bear I've ever seen, Jeroenow

Amazing atmosphere in your MIG25-pics, Pieter. One can almost breath the icy circumstances of the cold war period. But that's only the landscape, not the people: the airmen are waving very friendly.

Grtz,
Dick

Hans.

1968 it was. I fell in love. And it was a serious affair (I am still married to the lady in question).

This is a beauty too! All these splendid pics of the F-111 in this forum-thread make me realize I stopped spotting too early.

Dick the Thud's pic is stunning ! :shock: Thx Dino, Seen from the other side, the Thuds didn’t look quite as interesting ... :) http://www.mariannebarendregt.nl/Dribbel's%20corner_bestanden/F-105Bitburg-rear-aug64-Bar.jpg Bitburg, Germany, August 1964.

Holloman

It certainly does, Holloman.
You were just ahead of me.

Thx & grtz,
Dick

Amazing pics!! BTW, the badge worn on the tail of the Daggers (and on the chest of the crew chief..) resembles the 86th TFW/FW/AW emblem. What's the reason for this? Was this 32nd FIS (maybe administratively) attached to the 86th during this period? http://www.mariannebarendregt.nl/Dribbel's%20corn...

Sorry for the red crosses in the Dick Hunter-parts of this forumthread. It looks like my provider is not capable to get my website (and websites from many other people) back on line this weekend.
