On our way to Wittmund - to wittness the Phantom Pharewell - we briefly stopped at Leeuwarden Air Base (NL) to make some shots of 38+13 (thanks to Harry for arranging the fly-by over EHLW - http://waltervanbel.smugmug.com/Aviation/Special-Events/Trip-to-ManchingWTD61-Phly-out/30788746_7MFFH5#!i=2729012397&k=T59L9r6). The F-4F Phantom II from WTD61 made a low fly-by, after having done similar passes at Jever and Wittmund, before heading south to its homebase (ETSI - Ingolstadt/Manching). We also made a tour in the harbor of Wilhelmshaven, home of the 4. Fregattengeschwader (4th Frigate Squadron) of the German Navy.
