Zij zelf geven aan ook naar Bulgarije te gaan. Lijkt me dus helder.

:point:
Hi, Erik... what do you mean with this conclusion? Further more, these Eagles have been around for about 30 years orso. Changes are you might have seen some over the years.

As long as it is not as bad as with the DM A-10's that visited Spangdahlem recently, with 10 out of 12 being ex-Spang IIRC.

Sorry, I was wrong informed that 84-003 was in EHLW, but it was 84-0031. :oops:
So also this one new for me :D

That's what I meant, but it seems 11 new for me :bday: (no former USAFE birds?)
F-15D 85-0132 was a well known one from the Eglin deployments at Soesterberg (1990 and 1992?)

Donderdag 3 april stonden ze allemaal buiten. Waren ze goed te zien vanaf het spoorlijntje. Weet niet of ze nog steeds allemaal buiten staan. Zag ergens een filmpje langskomen waarin in ieder geval één kist in een hangar stond.

Klopt, de -0023 was dit weekend even van de lijn gehaald voor een feessie.

Kan dubbel zijn hoor, maar ik had nog niet gelezen dat de OR/FL F15s idd ook naar Noorwegen en Engeland gaan:

http://www.airforcetimes.com/story/mili ... /26122949/

Says : Twelve F-15s, which arrived at The Netherland's Leeuwarden Air Base this month, will head to Bulgaria next.
Air Force spokesman Jerry Renne said the F-15s and about 220 airmen accompanying the aircraft mostly hail from the Florida and Oregon National Guard.
"They will move forward in parts or pieces throughout the six months, to England to Norway, and there will be more.
