[PICS] Frisian Flag Week 12 & 13

Post by Rick!? »

As requested in the Frisian Flag 2017 topic some (quite a lot actually) pictures taken in the week of the arrivals and will probably add some from this week.


Monday 20-3-2017

1. The week started good with the arrival of three C-17's. The first two C-17's arrived even within 15 minutes but unfortunately the weather wasn't that great...

2. Third C-17 was a bit better being C-17A 07-7180.

10. Another nice visitor that day was this C-130H-30 from Spain as support for Portugal.
Image by Rick99622, on Flickr

After this C-130 arrived, some Germans also arrived but the pics of those EF2000's will come in the report of week 13 otherwise this post is going to be very big...(I hope it isn't already)

Friday 24-3-2017

11. My day started with this beautiful C-160R from the French Air Force as support for the Mirage 2000D's.

14. The Belgians brought this one with them. Nice scheme I think...
Image by Rick99622, on Flickr

15. New F-16 for me! :D
Image by Rick99622, on Flickr

16. The Portuguese brought this Casa with them for support. Taxied again almost as far as possible back.
Image by Rick99622, on Flickr

17. And finally the first F-15's arrived. This nice commander bird was one of them.

Nice week in my opinion. Will post more from week 13, if this post is not too big already, but first some school now. :)

I believe 'some stars' refer to some victories in air-to-air combats. Commonly known as 'kills'.... :wink:

three kills during the 1991 Gulf War (two Su-22's and one MiG-23) to be exact.

Was already aware of that :wink:.

And thanks for the comments! Today I tried to make some pics in Cornjum. Personally I didn't like it much so not much pictures from that spot. On the other hand take off pictures were better this time. Hope for runway 05 in use next week...

42. Just in time to catch the last two Eagles in the morning mission.

43.

44. And of course this Falcon 20 is also participating. Fortunately we can still enjoy these nice old planes.
Image by Rick99622, on Flickr

45. Then again take off's for the afternoon mission. This Mirage 2000D stayed quite low. Not a problem of course :fadein: .

47. The Belgians.

50. An Eagle showing it's underside.

60. Nice local F-16

61. On to the landings. This J-063 was one of the few that came in nice from the place were I was standing.
Image by Rick99622, on Flickr

62. After Cornjum I tried Jelsum, which was a bit better.
Image by Rick99622, on Flickr

63. The last landing from this day, just like other days, was G-FRAU.
Image by Rick99622, on Flickr

And now on to next week.
