Greatest catches?????

[Gerard]

My alltime favourite catch, on 13MAY1986:

Caddy23 and Caddy24 on Dutchmil inbound Cornfield, thereafter PD to Soesterberg and then back to the UK.

I made it on time on my bike from Amersfoort to see them in the overshoot - 2x A-7D, 70-1005/LV and 70-1020/LV.

During an combined Dutch army airforce exercise, the Apache crew told the landing Cougar, six civilians in the tree line. Somewhat later; they are split, four at the same place two civilians are moving. Yes that was us, clearly visible by the Apache pilots at 1500 feet.

Still looking for the images taken by the Apache

From a historic point of view the following conversation at the 12th of november 2008 was definitely my greatest catch of all while I was visiting Soesterberg TWR at that very moment! Because at the TWR the Eagles were already in contact with Rapcon west, so it was possible for me to inform the people down at the fence with my mobile phone that 'they' (2 F-15C's from Lakenheath) were inbound and what callsign they were using. Really unforgettable.

Deadly11: "Soesterberg TWR, Deadly is four mile initial runway 27 for two".
TWR: "Deadly11, roger, no traffic ahead. Report the break lefthand. Altitude 1000 is approved".
Deadly1": "Deadly"..."Deadly1, base, gear stop".
TWR: "Roger Deadly 1, would you like to check out the runway first before landing?"
Deadly11: "euhh..negative".
TWR: "Roger, Deadly 1 is number one cleared to land runway 27. The wind between ten and elleven 'o clock, velocity 15".
Deadly1: "Deadly copies".
