You open it with Photoshop, and then the saved ones like jpg

I copy-pasted the form in a Word-document. Should do as well I guess.

You don't have to do it the hard way anymore.
Luftwaffe changed it into a Word-doc.
So easier than Pdf.
It now is just a fill-in form.

I heard that Wittmund will be closed for a few weeks in May for repairs. Is that true? Maybe somebody has a more accurate report of when it will be closed. It will save me the disappointment when driving over there and see no activity!

Always check ETNT NOTAM before going

Hee Roberto, Geert99,

We want to visit Wittmund on 8th of may en-rout to Denmark.

1. Where can I find these Wittmund NOTAM's ?
2. Has anybody information about this temporary closure of Wittmund ?
3. Ifso where will the Phantoms fly from (which airfield)? or perhaps not at all...

Thnx if there's any info about this

I'm sorry man, I know nothing more than before I asked the question. I'm hoping for someone with this info as well.

Currently there are no 'interesting' NOTAMs for Wittmund.

[Stefan]

NOTAM can be found here: https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/PilotWeb/

Enter the location (ICAO-code); ETNT in this case and then press 'View NOTAMs'

There is no info on a possible temporary shut down of Wittmund in May.

After Leeuwarden, we decided to go to Wittmund for some Phantoms.
This week is/was night flying, so only 5 Phantoms during the afternoon.
Too bad that we didn't know this, so when we got to the hotel for the night, another 5 or so Phantoms took off.

18/4 15:00-17:30:

N431FS A-4N BAE
N434FS A-4N BAE
N268WL A-4N BAE either made a high speed run or aborted takeoff

37+01 F-4F JG71
37+96 F-4F JG71 Last Flight --> to Jever
38+01 F-4F JG71
38+24 F-4F JG71
38+28 F-4F JG71 Special scheme. Came back late morning from Manching
38+29 F-4F JG71
38+48 F-4F JG71
3.+.. F-4F JG71 Being towed. Would be great if any of the English spotters read this one!

37+96 took off without any tanks and after wondering if it was a test flight for a few minutes, we saw it going towards Jever, where it made a couple of overshoots/touch and go's before landing for the very last time. Weird to witness the last flight of a fighter. As a Bordeaux-spotter, I usually see it the other way round...

Regards,

Jan

Edit: I changed the dates, it was April 18th and 19th.

Only 23 F-4F's are currently airworthy and this number will continue dwindle down as June 2013 comes closer. Although the aircraft are nearly 40 years old, flying activity is limited by aircrew available (only 16 crews still flying) rather than aircraft availability. A normal day should see about four aircraft flying two waves and the QRA going out as well. You could be lucky to score as 'many' as 5-6 in a wave though.. The good times are forever over!
