A view into the past

[Sailing Dutchman]

Past week been digging in my personal archive and came to the conclusion that the last 2 decades it has been going extremely fast with decommissioning of numerous types of aircraft.

Fact is that most airforces have been decimated and some airforces have pulled out of Europe completely.

Also the introduction of new types have led to retire others.

To give you a glimpse of what has been are here some examples.

This particular bird was visiting during 1 of the famous spotterdays at Kleine Brogel Belgium in 2002.

Present whereabouts I don't know but it was a german example before it became italian.

Interesting, Jan, hartelijk bedankt!

 

Personally, I would have appreciated a bit more info about the different types of a/c... but anyway: keep on digging! :)
