J-001 was part of the Sting Flight as well. The missing Flame was be the J-017. Furthermore tricycle J-368 was towed around and in the afternoon a Wildcat was performing a TACAN/low approach. After a midfield hard left closely past the Tower moved on for a TACAN to Eindhoven.
The afternoon was more of the same F-16's.

Apart from a lone agitated security guard who threatened with calling the KMAR (and he supposedly did he said but none showed up), great light for photography, especially in the morning.

No sign of the Tornado's however.
