Your welcome mate.............i´ve got a very funny adition to this spottersday by the way, check the next three pictures!

1- The C-17 did a full thrust reverse when they did a back track to greet all the spotters. One of the guys climbed up to the hadge to wave a dutch flag, and (i presume) forgot to take off his headset. As you can see in the picture, his headset is blowing of his head due the thrust reverse, but still is atached with a plug (you can even see the rubber of one of his earspeakers coming lose)....

2- in this picture you can see that the plug of his headset can´t hold any longer, and is coming lose too....

3- in this picture you can see the cockpit crew looking to the left, where they saw the headset falling down besides the cocpit glass. Tom, Andras and i only saw this when we uploaded the images and we laughed our pants off. Thanks guys, we had great fun!!! :bday: :D

we saw it live during the spottersday, and later on the scanner there was a message that the headset was picked up from the runway!! Luckely it wasn't sucked up by the engines.
The Dutch flag was because this was the first time that a SAC C-17 flew with a full Dutch crew.

@Menno, a very nice weekend indeed, thanks for the company, it was great fun and the hospitality was exceptional! :-) I'm still laughing when i look at it...

@ Giovanni, you must have a Nikon, they look great sir! Some very good angles on the Turkish demo!
Groet,

Hi...

I think most of my pictures will be simular to those already posted, so I will just post one!
A nice sight, the three demo-f-16's together in one formation.
Did remind me of the Red Arrows / Blue Angels formation, some years ago.
