One-day visit to Scooter-town Wittmund, hosted by my friend "Uwe Weber". This day (November 26th, 2014) marked the last day of the contract between BAE Systems Flight Sytems and the German Air Force. All their A-4N Shyhawks were scheduled to leave Germany on December 2nd, 2014. Many many thanks to my host - Uwe - for guiding me around Wittmund Air Base and also special thanks to the people from BAE Systems Flight Sytems for their hospitality and the photo opportunities!! PS: Some of the shots were taken with my mobile (Samsung S4).
