10 Air Fete Tooms

Post by F3 » Wed Mar 17, 2021 4:21 pm

While delving in my archive for pics to illustrate the forthcoming Air Fete book (due out this summer) I came across a number of Phantom pics from the 80s + 90s. As these have not made it into the book and I know there are many Phantom Phans out there I thought you might appreciate them so voila!

Nice to see, for one reason or another I missed a few Air Fetes. Thank you for these.

Great post, I went to every Air Fete from 1980 until the end, thoroughly enjoyed every one.

Good old heavy metal 🤘
Nice to see the Luftwaffe F4F ftrm Jabo Geschwader 36.
Sadly the airfield at Hopsten is closed since years.
The USAF F4 from Spangdahlem reminds me being arrested at the perimeter fence long time ago

I remember when 40707 was first delivered to the Hall. Created a bit of excitement did that.
