It's all my fault... I started FIGHTER CONTROL back in 2000, then it was just a Military Aircraft News website... before adding the forum!

Rich,
The first Finn to depart was HN-452. I’m struggling with the others I’m afraid
Thank you, I had the same issue looking through my photos but at least the polish F-16s were readable (just a pity I forgot the callsign they were using!) :lol:
