20120604-20120605_Spottersday_Wittmund & visit "Jever-dump"

After booking-in in the Hotel, I paid a quick visit to the "dump" at Jever Air Base. The next day, we visited Wittmund Air Base for the 2012-spottersday, where 12 operational F-4F Phantom II's were ideally positioned before their HAS. The next day, we spend some hours - in the rain - at the fence of Wittmund Air Base.

  • The German Air Force Phantom crews have a nice habbit of decorating their aircraft when they are on specific missions abroad. This F-4F Phantom II (38+48, cn4747) has been marked with some Icelandic 'Spook' artwork on the splitter plate from a recent "Icelandic Air Policing"-exercise (i.e. a NATO operation conducted to patrol Iceland's airspace). Luftwaffe F-4F Phantom IIs from Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen" were detached to Keflavik Air Base from 5th March till 2nd April 2012.
