A109,Fouga.. International spottersday!!! (Part 2)

Postby Alphajet_Enthusiast » Thu Apr 28, 2005 2:52 am

Here is part 2. Sorry but there is going to be a part three too later because I just have too many pics! ::) Enjoy these! On my PC they're better quality but had to tone it down a bit for these forums!  :)

A Fouga Magister. It did a beautiful low-flying manoeuvre afterwards... About 3.5ft above the runway!  :D
Image

An F-16 engine. You're always surprised how big they are!
Image

A couple of German Tornados taking off. The sound was deafening.
Image

These pilots were really friendly. I was talking to them before, nice chaps.
Image

An Alphajet and a Jaguar. Hmmm!
Image

Two Agusta A-109s. They did a spectacular tandem manoeuvre, turning synchronically in opposite directions.
Image

Veeery loud. To say the least.

I want that An-26 from shot 1. You can get lots of beer barrels into that one.

Well the last time at the peer in Scheveningen a whole squadron came by now that's loud!!! ;D

Thanks!  :) The F-16s did a high AoA take-off... you could feel the ground shaking beneath you!! (we stood at the end of the runway!)

I've always loved the Fouga. Ver sad to see it off  :-[ Anyone know whats replacing it? Oh and by the way I hear the BN-2s have been removed from Maritime patrol?

Well, the replacement of the Fouga is the bird you love so much...the Alpha Jet! The Fouga went out of service some time ago. They just used it for solo displays. The BN-2's are also retired. The flew over my house several days a week, now the skies are clear here. Especially with the A109's moving to Bierset also, I'm thinking of moving house...need to find a place close to KB.  :)
