I still remember the answer from the pilot on his pre-exchange visit when he took off from Soesterberg. The Tower asked him "what will be your heading" and his answer was "vertical" :) And he did !!

:shock: Never seen this before! Was this the only time (ever) that a KLu jet has been decorated with a shark mouth?

Here is another shot and I believe they created this one on site with some sticker paper. At least it looks a bit crude to me :) Anyway it is a funny sight.

Does anybody by any chance have any pictures of the period

17JAN85 until 21JAN85? Hint: just like the old days in Nam!

Weather was pretty foggy, but I am still curious!

That is not what I mean.
These are probably the two USN Hueys on 17 or 21 APR 86?

I definitely mean the dates as I mentioned.
I will post my logs of those days in the nostalgia-section later.
