Auw... What have I started..

I see many pictures (Whales, HAF F-104) passing by on this thread which leave a trail of jealousy, hate, anger and buckets full of envy. Let the cold war relive :-)

Here some of mine again. A bit of mixed feelings on the first picture, the RF-84F of the Hellenic Air Force coming to Volkel in July 1988. For weeks I have been looking forward to this moment but at the moment the Thunderflash approach I was so nervous i f**cked up. This picture is ok-ish, a bit small, but the second one, which should be THE PICTURES is hopelessly out of focus. Well. Lucky i still have this one:

Image

Here a great friend of the HAF Thunderflash in that time visiting Leeuwarden on a saturday afternoon for the 322sq party in 1993

Image

Last one is one of the aircraft we always at airshows and stuff but always forgot to take a good picture of, until they were gone..

Roel,

now you went too far......... :x
One of the rarest types of the century-series!

I remember you were teasing us at the old spottersplace in EHSB with this F-106 trip. If I still remember you went there with "Henri the painterman", didn't you?

Okay, now after 20 years I will finally admit....... I was jealous at that time (and as a matter of fact I still am).
:roll:

Bye,
Gerard

I consider you very lucky too! 8)
But, you owe it to your own actions I guess. The 106s are true dinosaurs in every way - Great!
