    F-16 Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt & 987 Boxster S

    On Saturday I had the opportunity to take some shots of my car with some fighter aircraft that are assigned to the base I work at. So this is what I could come up with, hope you enjoy




    Best for last

    Re: F-16 Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt & 987 Boxster S

    That is because the F-16 really is quite a small plane, which you don't expect. The A-10 on the contrary is quite a large plane, whilst you expect it to be rather small... at least, that was whaat struck m when I got to see these fellers in real life from a short distance.

    Great Pics! The hangar in pics 2 & 3 is a beautiful building.

    Boubou, where you one of the F-16's that chased a ufo over belgium years ago? or was it the netherlands? anyways F-16's were scrambled to chase a ufo there and it was on TV here, with the actual air traffic control tapes of the pursuit. Interesting stuff.

    this were 2 buddies from 349 Sqn who were on alert that day. They didn't see any green little men, just some hype and maybe a F117 flying a candid msn in europe before they were shown to the public. Had good jamming (velocity stealer)

    Good to hear that you pilots comply with the "don't drink and fly" rule

    They didn't see any green little men?!? I always thought airforce pilots were little green men! hehe

    Noo, ahem... those are the Teletubbies!

    Surprising to see how blueish the Atlas Grey looks on the pictures - do you drive with American license plates? I suppose you use those fancy European-style plates...
    How much longer are you staying in Bitburg?
