Hi Spine, Oscar,

Are we talking about Thursday or Friday? I noticed the 38+74 flew a mission Thursday morning, and I understand 38+46 arrived Friday morning. Was it parked on the line Thursday afternoon (around 2, 2:30)?
Many thanks in advance!

I think there's a mix-up Spine, I was talking about thursday afternoon, I believe that's wat Patrick wanted to know......

OK, nog maar eens dan:

============
Er moet mij toch even wat van het hart:
Vanmiddag waren er toch weer XXXX [sorry,heb er geen ander woord voor] die menen het land in te moeten lopen aan de 24 kant.
Deze sigaren rokende heren trokken zich niets aan van wat sommige andere spotters zeiden.
Nu is het zo dat de boer daar toestemming heeft gegeven om langs de rand van het weiland te staan en niet er midden in!

In het verleden zijn er ook al figuren geweest die zakken met brood achterlieten in de weilanden rondom het veld met als gevolg: 4 koeien dood
Deze XXX hadden een mooie dag en plaatjes die ze graag wilden, maar wij hebben een boel ellende met de boer en de politie gehad.

Helaas was ik er zelf niet bij, maar dan hadden de heren nu met XXX thuisgezeten cq in een XXX naar huis kunnen rijden met 2 mooie bij deze site kleurende XXX.
Of beide!

Dus: voortaan naar andere spotters luisteren en een beetje respect tonen.

Oh ja, tegen het hek van de boer urineren is helemaal uit den boze!
=============
Zo beter?

Thanks!

Hello,

as this is my first posting here, I suppose a short introduction would be polite. I have been a very enthousiastic military spotter (and Scramble subscriber) in my teenage years (1980's). As many spotters I wanted to fly myself and was indeed accepted by the RNLAF in their training (LUOS 83-8 ) to fly the F-16. Unfortunately I had to end the training when I suddenly needed glasses. During the last 20 or so years I have done very little with regards to spotting, besides visiting some open days. Still the sound of a jet engine gives me goose pimples.

Anyway, I want to visit Leeuwarden tomorrow (monday april 7) to watch and photograph the FF 2008 jets. The weather won't be too great and the wind will be coming from the south west. So I guess they will be flying from runway 06, heading south west.

My question: Will the spotters place at runway 24 still be usable to photograph the jets, or will they already be too high when passing the fence there? I gues when landing they will be easy to photograph there when leaving the runway. I could go to the field near 06 but I haven't been there since the 1980's. So I don't know if I can park my car there somewhere.

What time will the first wave be leaving? At around 9.30 hrs local time?

If anyone can help an "old rusty" spotter I would be gratefull!

Klick on Netherlands and then again on Leeuwarden.
You will see a short discribtion where you can go.
I have never been spotting at Leeuwarden, but maybe it will help you a bit.

Thanks Brian. I have been to Leeuwarden a few times. I have even visited FF 2005, but then I was standing on the "spottersplek" at runway 24. I like that place very much and got great shots from there. And you have the sun from behind, although I am afraid there won't be too much sun tomorrow....
