20210212_Spotting at Florennes Air Base on a winter day

A visit to Florennes Air Base - at the fence - with the hope to catch some aircraft with a snowy background. Some photo's were made with my mobile (Samsung S10e), but the battery did not last very long in the cold temperatures...
We were lucky to catch the QRA-jets during take-off, both were armed - as usual - with two live AIM120B AMRAAM and two live AIM-9M Sidewinder A2A missiles.
