What a load of Russian bullsh*t-propaganda on that Sputniknews-site! If that's what the Russians really believe, the cold war is back, worse than ever before.

Gerard wrote:The ejection seat appears to show "4013", which would confirm FY84.

That's right! On the large scan I can clearly read 4013. Thanks Gerard!

I'm not sure. Stupid me: I took a photo too and forgot the write down the number.
But all other F-15s on the flightline of Bitburg that day were FY 1984.

Nice.
The 'good old' Soviet days are back.

Nice photos, Peter. Like Koen, I was one of the hundreds of 'losers' standing outside, having a grand day out! Some from me. My first day at the fence since 2006! Best take-off of the day. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8788/17149377921_18b9dc73b8_o.jpg F-15C Florida by Rob Schleiffert , on Flickr B...

Very nice of her to wait for the sun to appear! Great Valentines Day gift.

@Catbird. Amazing! Those west coast P-3s looked much better than most east coast P-3s. The future Catbird 150515 is interesting, but I like the LS-Orion at Valkenburg the most: I'd never seen a photo of an LS-P-3 at EHVB.

Nice Portuguese P-3s, JohnB and Erwin, but somehow your photos hurt. Some more then: The Dragons of VP-56 landing at Valkenburg, October 1984. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5599/15508515782_622f43c4f1_b.jpg Spanish P-3s were rarely seen at Valkenburg, but in September 1989 two Orions were based her...

Thanks Pelican for showing and sending me the photos!
This is the first time I see photos of this event.

By the way: there were 3 C-130's from Ramstein in the formation: 69-6566/RS, 70-1274 plus one other. Does anyone know which one was number three?

Cheers, Rob

@Pelican: thanks! PM sent, with log. Browsing through this topic, I got in the mood, so here are some more P-3 Orions! Valkenburg early January 1985. No activity on the flightline, but with a USN P-3C of VP-56. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8653/15858111148_4b09f39bcf_b.jpg According to 'the books'...

kist staat achter scheef lijkt het wel.

Bij het schip met de Frelons kijken ze beneden aan de trap heel even in je tas of rugzak. De voorste Frelon staat er prachtig bij: uitgevouwen en zonder kappen, maar wel achter een lint. Dat lintje zie je niet op de foto. De achterste Frelon is opgevouwen en ingepakt. Bij de Dauphin mag je inderdaad...

Su-25 for sure. You can hear its mighty gun.

Het verhaal is nog niet af. Komt iemand dit bekend voor? Great! I'm sure somebody has pics of our arrival show -- a five-ship with the all red NF-5A flying as lead (inverted at one point). If memory serves, visibility wasn't very good that day, and we flew all over the place trying to find Eindhoven...
