Achtung Deutschland!!! Jetzt Geht LOSS!!
It was 22:15 on a saturday evening on the 8th of october to be exact. I had just watched the Football Match betweenHolland and the Czech Republic which ended in a 2-0 win for us dutchies thereby qualifying the team for the World Championships football in 2006 in Germany, when the phone rang..
TRING TRING TRING
Now who could that be at this late hour...
> Yeah, It's me..
--Hiya Johan this is general Meijer. Enjoyed the game?
> Ow Hi sir! Yes congratulations too!
--no need for the formal talk Johan this is an off duty conversation. Say? The last time we went to Germany we did quite good didn't we?
> Of course we won the European Championship cup, I flew the Promotianal F-5 we had at that time..
--Yes Yes I know, How would you like to fly the same one again?
> BUT! But?! How could I? We sold all of our F-5's back then?
--well.......Not quite. Come to Leeuwarden Monday ten o clock sharp.
> Yes sir!
Well I went to Leeuwarden and I couldn't believe my eyes. There She was, K-3045 and looking better than she had ever done! The head flight engineer approached me and told me that they had taken good care of her. I wen't to the office of General Meijers and he asked me If I wanted to fly her next summer. YES!!! of course! I said. And that was it. Now take her up for a test flight!
Yahooo!!!! This feels Great!!!

Settle down for a bit.

Still as agile as ever

Lovely day too

Some people down there are gonna look strangely at the sky me thinks.

Ow well as it says on the tail-fin

Thanks! (for looking but the story aint over yet)

When I landed the General told me that he had never seen a smile that wide. He told me that maybe they were going to do a promotional football F-16 too. We would fly "Support" Missions on a PR tour through Holland and Germany..We will just have to see I guess..
Now in the Words of Ali G
DA REEL END!
