Three stored AMI (R)F104G's from 3rd Stormo at Villafranca photographed back in 1993.

First one: MM6514/3-54. This one is a resident of the Museo Nicolis as "MM6827" in a blue c/s on top of their roof.
The museum has also a fine cameracollection.

Image

Second one: MM6579 "La Strega" (The Witch). This aircraft still can be found at Villafranca as a gateguard.

Image

Third one: MM6647/3-22. Today this plane is preserved in Rubiera.

Sweet memories! My dad was line-chief of Volkel's 1st Fighter Wing in 1994 during Deny Flight and I shot many of those "FUR" wfu Starfighters when I visited Villafranca in May that year. Must scan some of those pictures one day...

Here as two more recent ones, shot at Grosseto in March 2004.

Again very nice shots Henk. I remember that day with the four Belgian F-104s.

Question: What scanner do you use for your slides?

Very nice shots, Henk, so crisp they could have been done yesterday with a digital body!
I hope you can endure mine, these were taken at Alconbury, 21 July 1985.

Hans.

Continuing with the Volkel Photocall theme, these three date back to the 25 April 1984 event. The last one I visited before the F-104 bowed out from Dutch service. 312 sq was the last to fly the one-o-four and had various jets zapped with comic characters, e.g. D-8051 being Snoopy.

Image

D-8245 was "Dusty".
Image

D-8258 was not apparantly zapped at the time.

Another photocall: 51° Stormo on exchange at KeeBee, October 1997. This also happened to be the day I used my last Kodachrome 64 film. Looking back I wished I had changed to Provia much sooner, one of the advantages IMHO of Provia over K64 is that scans usually do not need a lot of post processing.

PS: Thanks everyone for posting to this thread :day:

Not only that... also Spotting Group Volkel took care of some zapping :-)

PS: Formally UFO flew the final Dutch 104s, not 312sq.
