What a great time we had in the late 70's and (early) 80's. And what a great pictures in this thread. I will start to contribute every now and then. Here are 3 slides. April 1980: at that time old and new, now it's historic and old. It was very late in the afternoon and the quality is not very good,...

Okay Roel. Just one more. The rest will follow next week.

This one features a acquaintance of us. He didn't really change over the last 30 years. It's of course Henk de Ridder

One more. Number 3.

On this picture. Hans van der Vlist ("Kleine Hansje") and Rick Versteeg jumping above.

Okay. Here's number 2.

This one features Rob de Jong.

He Dick,

Leuk dat je ook weer/nog bezig bent!

Ik beloof je alvast dat jij ook nog gaat langskomen!

Hans

I have been cleaning up the attic and found a "book" I made around 1979. Don't know why I made it, but it was real fun reading the little stories again. What I've done is take a picture of a Soesterberg spotter and make up a little story. Remember the stories are all made up and nothing is...

Great shots and great scans from a great era. Well done!

Yuck! Glad the F4's and Hahn are history.

Just kidding Henk. What a great contribution. Hopefully there are lots of rainy days to come, I guess you'll have a few more slides to scan.

And the other two transports:

During our holiday in the Eifel I spend a few hours at Spangdahlem on Tuesday October 20. It was a dull day with a few F-16's in the morning and only 2 A-10's and 3 transporters in the afternoon. A pity because the weather was perfect. Here are a few pics . http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy17/ha...

They turned out great Henk! Wonderful shots. You really deserved a summer holiday.

Great shots guys!

Pfffff. GREAT Roel. Awesome. And I thought you were on a "romantic trip" to the Big Apple.

Yeap. These pictures are all taken outside the fence with apr. 150 to 200 mm. You'll need a five-step ladder and some luck with the security on base. The Gendarmerie usually only checks your passport.
