My first and favourite Dutch, the fantastic 1994 show at Leeuwarden. I wish I could have spent more time on the flying, some great displays including a Spanish Mirage F1, the amazing Czech MiG21 and flame trailing MiG23 and the wonderful sight of a pair of Portuguese A-7Ps performing mirror pass and one rolling around the other. The statics were distributed beautifully among the trees and included some absolute gems. Again apologies for the number of pics.
