Since apparently several Fightercontrollers like to see some more photos from Keflavik I will post more in the coming days.

Superb set Arnold, some of the best photography I have seen from this era. Number 3 is a corker

Nothing not to like there, very nice set and great to see something from back in the 60's, very nostalgic, more please.

SUPER, SUPER, SUPER!
As with your 'Part 1' I am truly grateful to you for sharing such superb and nostalgic pics

Some great stuff from your Keflavik posts Arnold. Very difficult to pick a highlight from them all but it would have to be the F102s for me (but there are many close seconds). Must have been a great place to be with all the ferry flights staging through. Like others on here it would be great to see more.

Wonderful stuff Arnold and many thanks for sharing them - brought back memories of seeing 131635 many times at Mildenhall.
Although 57thFIS F-102's weren't a rare sight in Scotland they certainly were in England which is why I went home well pleased when I saw a pair visiting Upper Heyford in late Feb'68 - 0-61341 and 0-61455. I was also lucky to see 2 pairs of the squadrons T-Birds at 'Heyford as well - 0-35244 plus 0-35470 in April'68 and 0-35470 together with 0-60758 in October'68. Then, it was a long wait for me before the 57thFIS showed up again, this time with F-4E's.

Thank you very much for your kind comments Luxto. You saw some interesting 57FIS T-33's. Less than a year later they were replaced by O-80540, O-80583 and O-80627. They were gone when I went back to Keflavik after some years during the Phantom era.
