Luchtmachtdagen 2014 - UPDATED

Post by Dr Cake »

Been having another look through unposted material from the relatively recent past. Here are my best efforts from Gilze-Rijen in 2014. They're not the best. Three and a half days of cloud didn't help! Anyone else make the trip?

I'll see what else I've got. Watch this space.

Some really good sharp pictures there. Thanks for posting. My favourite is the first one.

Really good images in the poor light available. I'm guessing from the first few images that you were a guest of GRAS on the Thursday, as some of the angles look mighty familiar to me? :wink:

Many thanks, stand out item for me was the Austrian Alouette although I don't recall seeing the Greek F-16 display before. The first image is taken on its arrival on the Wednesday afternoon. Just a single jet, no spare, no support (as far as I am aware)!

Yes, we most certainly were. Similar trip to 2010 although we planned it a bit better and got there 1pm on the Wednesday. Pity about the lighting.

As usual, another set of excellent photos from Dr. Cake.
Also, interesting to see how the Bundesheer helicopter disposes of its trailing Austrian flag after the display.

Interesting indeed! I'm assuming you're referring to how they cunningly transferred it in mid-air to A-275 Royal Netherlands Air Force Aérospatiale SA 319 Alouette III for him to drop onto the lorry?? :whistle:
