Dirk HeyerMmmmh,

It seems you made only pictures from the white tablecloth there??
How many dark beer did you drink before the air-show started???
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 : )

Dirk HeyerHolger......
many many thx for this album!!!
Wonderful pictures!
And the close up piccis of the grey Rhino, the Tornado and the Spanish F-18 show exactly what I need for my weathering!!!!
They looks like an aircraft looks like! Dirty, filthy, full of character!!!
Great photo album!!
No good weather condition it seems. But as an storm proofed Islander you have adapted the outer wet conditions also in the body with a cold beer???

Dirk HeyerMmmh, one of them must be the Island hopping Phantom!
The second one has more power with two exhausts

Holger KranichTim, thanks for ´restoring!
Buddy´s its always a pleasure to share an album with you! But i have plenty of pix to load up! This is by far not everything!
30 June 2013, 12:28
Holger KranichSo, i stop uploading for today! I still have about 400 pix to load up!

Holger KranichHey Michel, it was the very last day... The F-4 has retired in Germany since yesterday!
30 June 2013, 17:38
Bill GilmanThanks Holger! The Phantom is one of those aircraft that should not be allowed to retire! "Don't Let Me Die, I Want To Fly!" How long before Revell re-issues their F-4F kit with those markings?

Holger KranichTomorrow I'll buy this in my local hobby store: scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=103784

Holger KranichMoin Oliver, ja war ein super Tag!

1 July 2013, 09:34
Tammy JerrettOh my god -what a time you must of had.. totally jealous!! Great Pics thanks for sharing!!!(🙂

Holger KranichThe Scooter is even a mystery to me. Israel camo and american marking, located in germany with no national insignia´s!
1 July 2013, 11:32
Günther DebiscopThe Scooter was bought from the Israeli Air Force. The Skyhawks (civil registrations N431FS, N432FS, N434FS and N437FS) are operated by the BAE subsidiary E.I.S. Aircraft GmbH at Wittmund. They replaced the former used F-100's.
1 July 2013, 11:47
Holger KranichThanks for info, Günther! Btw, where have you been on saturday? I always kept an eye out to spot you...😢
1 July 2013, 12:02
Holger KranichSo, my dear Scalemates, the pix are fully load up!Enjoy watching and if you need some more pix of an particular aircraft, just drop me a line! Now i have plenty at home!
1 July 2013, 17:37
Aghis BarberopoulosWow, looks like you had a feast Holger! The jets are nice, but the Stieglitz is so beautiful 😄
1 July 2013, 18:29
Holger KranichAs i saw the Stieglitz, I knew I had to take this pix for you! These images are dedicated to you, just as the 109G6😢!
1 July 2013, 18:41
Holger KranichOh yes it was! This was the best airshow I've seen yet! Phabulous Phantoms!😢
2 July 2013, 17:40
BI really like the F-4 phantom,it's phabulous,but my favorite plane has to be the E-2C Hawkeye,I don't know why but it is.
2 July 2013, 17:43
Holger KranichHey, every plane modelers maybe has "his" favorite aircraft! You saw it and fell in love! To me it's the Tomcat😢
2 July 2013, 17:48
BNo you're not weird,the A-7 is a cool plane. ( with its huge intake it looks like it has a mouth)
2 July 2013, 17:57
Duncan CookLong live the mighty Spitfire😉
BUt the Phantom is also a very interessting plane.
And loud. 🙂

DanielToday 38+62 did a PharewellFlight over ex-RAF Gütersloh, the town where I was born. Video:sg-etuo.de/Forum/OffTopicF-4FPharewellFlight 🙂 🙂 🙁

Mathias CarlSchöne Fotos.
Und nun darf die Phantom in ihren wohlverdienten Ruhestand gehen.
Pharewell 🙂

Holger KranichI found some pix on my harddrive, i didnt added... But now they are up!😢

Kerry COXThe General Electric J79 is the loudest/noisiest jet I have ever heard but that's the best sound I have ever heard. And they produce enough power to get an aircraft with the aerodynamics of a brick to do amazing things. Oh! Oh! Oh! . 🙂

Bart Goesaertthink you've never heard a B-1 cruising by at low levell... that was deafening, but awesome... Too bad the phanthom has retired.. really cool aircraft...
3 November 2014, 10:54
Holger KranichWise words guy´s!
I love the feeling of an afterburner on full thrust passing by on the taxiway to take off!
3 November 2014, 10:58
Bill GilmanWhich brings up an interesting question - what is the loudest military jet? We need data (as in decibels) to answer that question, not opinions! I've read that it was the XF-84H Thunderscreech, but I've not seen any data that backs that up. The loudest that I've personally experienced (and this is subjective) was a hovering AV-8 Harrier about 50m away, but that may have been due to proximity. Most often I am not that close to military hardware! 🙂
3 November 2014, 12:54
Holger KranichI think you are right, Uncle Bill!

Sebastijan VidecVolvo R8M in full afterburner, installed in Saab Viggen, makes a very impresive roar. Unfortunately I don't have dB data, but one pilot admited, that in full afterburner, the roar is so deafening, that they couldn't hear radios set to max volume.
3 November 2014, 15:28
GlennI always amazed by the amount of noise the BAe Hawk makes, A little single engine aircraft with no afterburner! The RAAF Mk.127 ones sure make a bloody lot of noise!!!
3 November 2014, 15:58
Bill GilmanMany of us know how loud a Phantom equipped with two J79 engines in full burner is - now imagine a B-58 Hustler with four of them!
3 November 2014, 16:37
Holger Kranichat the show featuring this album i heard a A-4 starting and passing by! They where more loud than the F-4!
3 November 2014, 17:29
Choppa NuttaCool Album, great to see all that engine detail, especially the intricate workings of the nozzle vane adjusters in pic 79 !
love the Tiger Tornado too 🙂

Patrick HagelsteinYep, my jealousy form is now officially accepted.... 😉 Great pictures Holger! 👍

Maciej BellosThere are still some of them phlying here in Greece. There are two occasions where you can see them in action, Iniohos International exercise held each April and Athens Flying week held in September.
18 April 2019, 14:41
Holger KranichI always enjoyed when they zipped over, coming from Wittmundhaven. J79, louder than my girlfriend...😉
20 April 2019, 08:56
Clifford KeeslerThere is no better sound in the jet world than the "Howl" of the old J-79,be it in a F-104, F-4, or B-58, yes some of us old enough to remember the B-58. LOL.

Album info
These are my images from the "Pantom Pharewell" in Wittmund at JG 71 "Richthofen".
It was a great day with many different planes. I had a tough moment as the played "time to say goodbye" and the last F-4 was phinally on the ground...
