Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Great shots! We left at 15.45. Let me guess, Mirages and F-16's flew an afternoon mission after we left after all?

I think you mean the a/c for the exercise?? They flow 2 missions yesterday.
The first wave departed around 09:30LT and arrived around 10:45LT
The second wave departed at 16:15LT and last arrived 17:45LT

The local stuff was already at 07:50LT in the air. And at 18:00LT 2 F-4's were still in the air.

Amazing base by the way. It was mine first visit here yesterday.

Greetings,
Eric

just found this information on UKAR...!!!!
Be advised that the F-4's are grounded as of wednesday afternoon. This is because there are problems found with the ejection seats. Every aircraft needs to be checked manually. So probaply no flying of F-4's this week. Also the F-4's at Leeuwarden are grounded
