We saw this herc too.

Can you help with the EF2000? We saw seven and only six (30+78, 30+83, 30+45, 31+07, 30+58, 30+72) we can read off. Can you help us with number seven?
In between those EF2000 stood a dutch F16 J-5(11).

Thanks in advance

Why did the Germans fly on a Saturday? Isn't the field usually closed on Saturday?

I do not think the german eurofighters flew. I think they read the flightlines from outside the base.

Nobody says anything about flying. They were parked and we can only read six of them.

Gents,

Thanks for the replies but these facts are known.
Nevertheless, this doesn't tell us wich ones were outside or inside over the weekend as things are likely to change during the week...

They were all outside. Those 7 visible from the Marssum-side of the field and 3 were visible from the road leading from Ljouwertdyk to the southern gate; parked at the left side of the gate.
