(notes: Finally „Phantom“ day again, with the QRA already beeing airborne when I arrived. Three more F-4s followed later in the morning, including a outbound-flight of clean configurated example 38+29, which went to Jever. The smaller afternoon-wave included a sixth active F-4 noted that day. The highlight of the day however was the delivery of 38+10 in its original Norm 72 colour scheme, bringing the numer of flying „Phantoms“ to seven!
Not bad, regarding the fact that another German fighter wing wasting millions of Euros tax-payers money for so-called „ten-pack“ hangars and brand-new administration buildings still hardly manages to get such a numer of aircraft into the air within one single day ..)

(notes: finally time to say good-bye to Friesland and Wittmund airbase after a long weekende there with my family. Due to dense morning fog, I waited for my final trip to Wittmund until I could hear the “Phantoms” in the air – from my hotel. Then, a quic scramble to Ardorf and a just one hour stay allowed me for watching recoveries of four F-4s – including the QRA, two “Skyhawks” and a rare Do.228 from Nordholz. Then it was time to leave my temporary homebase until returning in somewhere in 2013 ...)

(summary of all active F-4Fs I have seen in 2012: 37+01 (Jan, Apr), 37+22 (Jan), 37+48 (Apr), 37+92 (Apr, Nov), 38+01 (Apr, Nov), 38+02 (Jan, Nov), 38+10 (Norm 72 c/s – Nov), 38+24 (Apr, Jun), 38+28 (spec c/s “40 Jahre Schortens” – Jul/Nov), 38+29 (Apr, Nov – to ETNJ), 38+33 (Apr, Nov – to ETNJ), 38+37 (Apr), 38+42 (Apr), 38+45 (Jan), 38+48 (Apr, Nov), 38+50 (Jan, Nov), 38+53 (Apr, Nov), 38+57 (Apr), 38+58 (Jan), 38+62 (Apr, Nov) = 20 aircraft)
