As requested in the Frisian Flag 2017 topic some (quite a lot actually) pictures taken in the week of the arrivals and will probably add some from this week.
Monday 20-3-2017
1. The week started good with the arrival of three C-17's. The first two C-17's arrived even within 15 minutes but unfortunately the weather wasn't that great...

2. Third C-17 was a bit better being C-17A 07-7180.

by Rick99622, on Flickr
5. And this day again a C-17. This time from McGuire being C-17A 02-1098
by Rick99622, on Flickr

10. Another nice visitor that day was this C-130H-30 from Spain as support for Portugal.
by Rick99622, on Flickr
After this C-130 arrived, some Germans also arrived but the pics of those EF2000's will come in the report of week 13 otherwise this post is going to be very big...(I hope it isn't already)
Friday 24-3-2017
11. My day started with this beautiful C-160R from the French Air Force as support for the Mirage 2000D's.

15. New F-16 for me!
by Rick99622, on Flickr
16. The Portuguese brought this Casa with them for support. Taxied again almost as far as possible back.
by Rick99622, on Flickr

I believe 'some stars' refer to some victories in air-to-air combats. Commonly known as 'kills'....Rick!? wrote:Thanks!

And thanks for the comments! Today I tried to make some pics in Cornjum. Personally I didn't like it much so not much pictures from that spot. On the other hand take off pictures were better this time. Hope for runway 05 in use next week...
42. Just in time to catch the last two Eagles in the morning mission.

43.
by Rick99622, on Flickr
44. And of course this Falcon 20 is also participating. Fortunately we can still enjoy these nice old planes.
by Rick99622, on Flickr
45. Then again take off's for the afternoon mission. This Mirage 2000D stayed quite low. Not a problem of course .

47. The Belgians.

61. On to the landings. This J-063 was one of the few that came in nice from the place were I was standing.
by Rick99622, on Flickr
62. After Cornjum I tried Jelsum, which was a bit better.
by Rick99622, on Flickr
63. The last landing from this day, just like other days, was G-FRAU.
by Rick99622, on Flickr
And now on to next week.
