TLP 2006-3 10/05/2006

Post by Vonsmalhausen »

had to work till 13hrs yesterday :cry: , so i knew i only would be able to take the landing of the first TLP mission of this session :? (it's a +- 70 minutes drive from where i work)
when passing Charleroi, i saw rwy 25 was in use there, so i expected rwy 26 at Florennes.
what i (off-course) didn't knew was ; they had launched the mission rather early, they had t.o. at 12.30hr, so when i was at the roundabout near the base with the Thunderstreak, round 14.05hr, i heard the first planes coming in 8O and on reaching the Corennes spot for 26, i saw the lights where out 8O rwy 08 was in use :twisted: i had to make the trip to Chaumont to get to the 08 spot :roll: :evil:
so i missed the first planes ; Mirage F-1's from France and Spain, and Italian Tornado's :( , but still was just on time to catch the GR4's, Greek F-4's ( one made a overshoot, cause he was to high on first landing attemp ), French Super Etandarts and US F-16 and F-15's :D
one of the GR4's is a very nice decorated one :P Image

here are the other i could catch

as i rushed in on the 08 spot, and they where coming in one afther the other, i could not go whole the way down to the regular 08 spot, but stayed up where we park the cars :? it's on moments like this you are VERY happy to have a Bigma on you're cam :P :wink:
next wednesday i can go for the whole day :D if weather permits, i'll bring back some more shots :P
