We had a nice day today at Leeuwarden!

First visitors today were some French Alpha Jets.

Nice series...

I can't look at the Alpha Jets without thinking of the movie "Hot Shots."

Anyone have the plans for Operation Sleepy Weasle?

[Leeuwarden]

Thanks! Planes in Hot Shots were Gnats. These are even smaller than Alpha Jets :-)

Today I had the opportunity to make some pics on the base :-)

Great shots.
Love the lighting in the first set and the after burner in the last two.

Great series. I love the lighting in the first two EF2000 shots. Nice going.
