Thanks for asking, I've already bought my ticket, since I had faith that there would be some rehearsals/ fly-by's. But now we know for sure! English translation of the post above: I have contacted the organization, this is their answer: "There will be movements for sure! There are demos of the F-16,...
Up close and personal. I have a whole batch of pictures with you in the foreground somehow. These are way better of course, I really like the ones with the whole background blurred by heatwaves, and the Mirage supersharp!
Couple more from a few meters away :wink: : 01. Skyhawk departing for Nordholz. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3727/9529526812_9ea8369128_o.jpg 02.

That would explain something. We're in doubt as we want to choose between Wittmund for the Mirages, or drive to Nordholz for the arrivals. If they come by early in the morning we could do both.
Unlikely. There are 4 Mirages, not 5, and they will be relieved in the first week of September. They won't leave a two-week gap in between, right? If anyone has more info, please share, I really like to capture them for one last time.
Last Saturday we (Gortje and me) attended a small air show in Valenciennes, northern France. Because it is relatively close by, and the Rafale a display would perform a demo we drove there. The weather was super! We had reservations for the spotters place, but found out that you only got privileges ...
A few more pictures, the Skyhawk was taken from the base, but it became increasingly lighter so we decided to move to the hill outside the base. Not a bad choice, the sun broke through the clouds and illuminated the machines perfectly! 01. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7322/9201796584_8dfd9d2e29_o.j...
Some arrivals under challenging weather conditions.... 01. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3709/9182210043_f861a676e5_o.jpg 02. This is what the do in Germany with spotters who misbehave :D http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7384/9182211253_2978a59752_o.jpg 03. Don't let me die! http://farm6.staticflickr.c...
