Scramble Messageboard

One should question if this might be a wise move, as in The Netherlands there is the so called "vliegtax". Being so close to the German border it seems reasonable that Dutch tourists will depart from German airports. I think you have a point there. But the great disadvantage for German airfields is...

This is mine at my work.

Just my 50 cents. Hope you like 'em.

No thank you, I actually graduated from school.

Mijn belangrijkste redenen voor (uiteraard) Nikon zijn: de ergonomie van Nikon. Ik vind dat een Nikon perfect in de hand ligt. En dan bedoel ik de F5/F6 die ik zelf heb of de D1/D2/D3 serie. Nikon is het meest robuust en kwalitatief het beste. Kijk maar eens hoeveel oude Nikon Bodies of lensen er no...

I also was on Volkel on the 12th. We had a basevisit. Here are the results (with the J-008 photographed from the other side) http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb242/MyOneOFour/J-008.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb242/MyOneOFour/J-020.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb242/MyOneOFour...

I was curious about the fate of the DC F4's. So I looked it up in the famous Scramble database. The 66-7693 is nowadays preserved as "67478" at Fargo IAP. Fate of the 66-7561 is unknown. As is the 66-7677. They departed for Amarc and were never seen since. The 66-7634 is an instructional airframe at...

Thanx.
It sure brings back memories.
Come to think about it, I made those pix with just a simple Nikon EM and an even more simple Panagor 135/2.8 lens.
Nowadays everybody has big lenses with big camera's. You couldn't afford those in the old days. Too expensive for a fourteen yeard old !

You want some smokers? I've got some. On Tuesday the 7th of June 1983 a District of Columbia F4D made an emergencylanding on Twenthe. It was the 66-7693/DC with squadronleader markings of the 121TFS. It was accompanied by three more Phantoms. The 66-7561/DC, 66-7634/DC and the 66-7677/DC. They were ...

THIS RULEZ !! RESPECT THE DEUCE !!!

They were from 74 'Tiger' Squadron (not 23 Sq) No way. It was 23 Sqn. What you mean is a rotation (or an excersise) with 74 Sqn (Tigers !) in March 1991. Three Phantom FGR2's from 74 Sqn were present at the time and two from 228 OCU. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb242/MyOneOFour/ETUO/XT905.jp...

Actually the Phantom FGR2's were from 23 Sqn. stationed at Wattisham at that time.
Nowadays they fley with the E3D Sentry from Waddington.

Kan dit Josti Band Topic ook naar het Praathuis? Heeft niets met luchtvaart te maken! Josti Band Topic?? This is fun !! They had a really good group at Soesterberg at the time. Just like our group in Twenthe / Hopsten. Those were the days. I think you're just jealous because you weren't part of suc...

The date: the 7th of August 1984. What a day. The local F15's were flying like crazy, furthermore two Torrejon Vipers, 3 F5E Tigers from the then 527 TFTAS, 2 Ramstein F4E's, 4 Mirage F1's from Cambrai, a French C160F, a German CH53 and a German Alouette II (75+32), a Dutch Navy P3C (301) and two It...
