it was a nice day if it weren't for the weather offcourse. the 2nd part of the day (after 2pm) it got much better and sun came peeking more and more through clouds. in the morning it was    (rain and windy). some nice things came by and the spottersday was arranged well. allthough a couple of planes taxied the other way too quick so we couldn't photog them, the end of the day made it all up. the cp-140 came in around 2pm, the f-4 at the same time with a couple of touch 'n goes. the hornet couple made a low approach and the RF-4's came in not too much time later.....
hope you enjoy...
