Spooks at the Tactical Weapons Meet 2017, Florennes
Hey fellas!
Last thursday 15the june I spent the afternoon at the Tactical Weapons Meet at base Ariénne Florennes in Belgium. My goal was to capture the F4 Phantom and had a great time doing this. For me still one of the greatest aircraft flying around and call me a sucker for nostalgia but no other aircraft could compete with it's beauty and state of service...well maybe the Mirage or Mig29;-)
Hope you enjoy some highlights, at my flickr page more of these beauties.
Cheers
Reinier

Superb set. Was this part of the spotters day area you could photograph from?

Superb, I'm surprised our paths didn't cross as I was on the flightline myself at the end of the event. I managed to get the F4's taxiing back after the first sortie as we arrived as we were met at the main gate rather than across the airfield.
