1st A-10 visit

Post by HenkS »

To my knowledge, the 1st ever Warthog visit to Soesterberg took place somewhere in April 1979. They came from the 81st TFW which was based at RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge: 77-0230/WR, 77-0232/WR, 77-0235/WR.

Rare config?

Post by Ergo01 »

This is the only occasion that I've seen an F15A/B/C/D flying with ECM-pod. I am sure someone knows type and make of the ALQ-?? pod onderneath this F15D. Not a perfect photo but it may be rare.
This is from October 1986. And oh, I have a slide of CR007 but it must wait. It is rather dull.

One more for today

Post by Ergo01 »

The 27 approach at EHSB sometimes creates a visual illusion causing aircraft coming in high. This C5 already passed 25% of the runway length. Luckily reverse thrust could compensate.

Heavy cargo

Post by Ergo01 »

Who knows the logic of giving a C5 European 1 camouflage? It only works at EHSB. Don't know the date of this image, perhaps late 80-ties.
First indication if incoming cargo aircraft was containers assembling at the end of rwy31. This lady, C5 serial 90011, came out of the showers.

March 1981, a JG74 F4. Now, 27 years later, they will be replaced.

Ergo01, please keep posting ones like this. I am quite jealous on this one, I went to Soesterberg that same month but unfortunately not on the day this beauty came along! I never caught a Neuburg F-4 at Soesterberg, usually it were Hopsten and Wittmund F-4's.
