considering the views of this topic!

I love this topic.

Fantastic picturesa, really shows how busy Soesterberg used to be.
Wouldn't mind a topic like this for some other bases like Eindhoven for instance as well, but I like this topic anyway

all I can say is

Nice topic! So common in the eighties and nineties, CR coded Eagles at Soesterberg. Now we wish they were back… Two pics made in 1992.

Here some cockpit shots. I always liked the interaction with the pilots and some of them give great responses.

And here a shot of the farewell flight of the last KLM DC-9. It was escorted by two 32nd TFS Eagles and brought some officials to Soesterberg. Unfortunately the weather was bad but at least it is a nice view

Up to you again Roel !

I did a big dive into my old negatives and made some scans of them. Unfortunately the quality of some is not good anymore but I hope you still like them!

A nice OV-1 Mohawk from the Army in Germany:

Two AMI F-104S Starfighters taking off on a cold 1983 winters day:

A Danish Gulfstream on a visit to bring pilots to the centrifuge in Soesterberg:

Another Dane, this time a Draken departing the 1984 Open Dag. I see I have some PS to do to make this look right again....

Tomorrow some other ones

Wow, nice photos. I saw many of those jets myself on the same days, like the SP F-4E with chute, the Buccs and TJ F-16s. Coincidence?

My contribution: some local Eagles.

2 F-15As (June 1980)
With CR tailcode

Without CR (prior to replacement by F-15Cs)

F-15C (August 1981) returning from scramble
