a little off-topic, this was in 1992, but also very nice

Also in 1992 was the farewell flight of the 2nd ATAF in Germany.
Looked like the Seventies with Gina's, Starfighters and F-5s!

That was actually 1993, on 24 june 1993 to be exact. I think one of those 104's was actually the last operation Italian F-104G.

That's correct Elmer, and if I'm not mistaken an F-117 passed by aswell, on special request of the traffic controller, I remember him thanking the pilot for making his day

Those were the days!

Ooooh! That's nice, thanks Ad

Still with 311 and grey tiptanks... I was three months old when that picture was taken!

My dad was a crew-chief with 312 back then, around that time he had to let go off D-8091, got D-6682 until it's mid-air and then got D-6668 (or D-3x6-8 as we call it!).
