Scramble Messageboard

I had the apportunity to go on base to photograph the last flight of two pilots. Conditions were very poor unfortunately. Here is an impression of the day: 1. Visiting Leeuwarden F16BM http://www.hansrobben.eu/20111125/DSC01166.JPG 2. Lifeliner 3 stand-in http://www.hansrobben.eu/20111125/DSC01393-2...

Nice shooting, maybe one day I am able to take similar shots.

Yes, they were carrying live weapons (surprisingly), I have only seen this on the QRA birds.

@Stratofreighter: thanks, it made quite a dramatic turn to final. Glad I could capture it, the other two made a straight-in ILS approach.

Today three F16's returned to Volkel that took part in the missions over Libya:

J-008


J-062


J-643

Title changed

The F16's returned today, serials were J-515, 630, 144 and 871 as NAF81-84. Tanker was NAF48, it returned to EHEH.

I went to Wittmund thursday to see the Phantoms in action, here are some shots I took that day. 1. The only visitor of the day but a very nice one: http://www.hansrobben.eu/20111027/DSC06964.JPG 2.
