And in the summer of 95 some 53 FS Eagles took over the former 32nd FS shelters and came over to practice with 5or 6 F-15's. They were very much welcome!

Seconded! Crisp, wel exposed, sharp, enough but not too much de-noising. Way to go!
But of course you were using Kodachrome or another high end film.

they were parked at the "middle east" close to the head of runway 27. If I remember there was some construction work going on at the visitors platform at that time. And over the fence.........

In the week before or after also 6 BT F15's were parked at this position (if I remember correctly 22nd FS/Red fin) -> pictures?

no sorry Rene, but I did post the one with two BT F15's and the two WR F16's earlier. That was in the same period.

Nice pics of the Hogs

Not sure if those are the same ones but late `80`s i was at home (Kapelweg in Amersfoort, hence in the landing of Soesty) and 5-6 A-10`s came in to land.

I set the world record for riding a bike from Amersfoort to Soesterberg that day

F-5E Agressor 527th TFTAS,

I believe it was a ghost camouflage.

ready for another trip to memory lane?

not so common visitor the 'hog',

always nice to see an F-4 so close,

sometimes some nice dart 'grafitti',

that time the 298th sqn came to the fence and sold some patches...

and of course a local from the 32nd TFS,
