Your frietjes station will be there from 9 till 24 april, so you can get your snacks every day at the spottershill beginning runway05

bedankt - for the frietjes info

Where would you say the best place is to take photos from there,been to the spotters hill years ago,but will have a car this time so may also go to the other end of the airfield.

Ta Chris
Have'nt been that end before but seen clips from there,seems to be enough places to park anyhow.
I suppose the best shots you can get there are off the recoveries,are they?
Went on the hill years ago and nearly dropped dead it was that cold after an hour.
That was when we went on a train up from Amsterdam,we'll have a car this time.

These are my shots from that road - all recoveries as you say: https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisglob ... 865432626/

From memory, everything goes almost ballistic on departure from 23, so no chance of shots from the mound Similarly, 05 departures do so as well, so no good from that end.

[powerslave]

Thanks for that,just had a look at your photos.don't think I've seen shots from there with blue sky before.

[Ross Forsyth]

Departures from 23 are most definitely possible aslong as the sun isn`t shining,although a few do still keep it relatively low they make a sharp right before levelling again for noise avoidance on departure.
Finnish Hornets always climbed immediately while F-16`s,Gripens and occasional German Eurofighter would keep it low,luck of the draw really.

[powerslave]

Great shots,going to be there for a day or two so will spend one of the launches at the mound end.

Tanker support from Eindhoven. Not mentioned yet. But also great photo opportunity.

Only in the weekend, all other days 2 waves depending on the weather, last friday (24/4) only a morning wave and maybe a very small afternoon wave, but you can expect that day several transport aircraft

Thanks Roberto!
