Just upload your pictures to a website or space, copy the url, paste the url in your post using the IMG tags. Cant wait to see them!

ps. I think you mean 69-7244/RS, the 69-0244 is a F-4G

All those Phantoms and other stuff brings back some great memories!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, sweet memories... I really had a great time at Soesterberg, and not only because of the local F-15's and interesting movements: it was always good fun to hang around at the 'old' spotter's place. When this place closed down in favour of the hill, I stopped visiting Soesterberg as frequently as I used to do.
These pictures must have been taken around 1985 (the first one for sure).

Those pics of the people behind the camera's are very nice. I'm still searching for myself in the backgroud.

There used to be the "spotters-archief" slide box with loads of great pictures of SSB-spotters in weird situations. Those slides used to be shown whenever there was a convention, a party or any other reason for showing them.
Would anyone know where that box of slides has gone??

wow! those pics brings back memories...
I can't find myself on the pics unfortunately...

I do remember making some of those pics, maybe I took them?
But I am not sure.
I do know that those pics I took are all in the so called "archive"

Isn't that the tailhook in a strange angle? It seems it's lost his dragchute?
