MORE INTERESTING IMPRESSIONS FROM MALBORK AND THE NEED OF DUTCH QRA FLIGHTS
November 14th, 2014
By the time this very page is built the information came to us that Dutch F-16's 
had to intercept once again a Russian 'Bear' which invaded the air-space of the  
sovereign Baltic states by this occasion. A violation against NATO members.
In the light of the expanding Russian forces in the Ukrain with troops and heavy  
material (tanks) the question once again rises why Russia shows this agression.
 
 
Several movements from Russia to Ukrain such as transport vehicles, troops and tanks have been perceived
So Malbork is of importance for the QRA and 'showing flag' for the countries that feel threatened by the Russian 'shower of power'.
Daily life goes on, everyone is aware of the importance of it's own individual task
An average day, raining this time but still the same routines
This day some F-16's will be flying against the MIG-29's for training purposes
For the F-16 pilots this is even better to 'fight' real MIG's in stead of an F-16 simulating he is one.....
Succes buddy,make the best fo it !
A two-ship formation will go airborne, another example is on stand-by
While this concerns a training, the F-16's as well as the MIG's are equipped with training material on the hardpoints
Groundcrews do their pre-ops checks on the outside
Almost ready...engine is started
Several checks inside the cockpit as well...
Also the groundcrews follow training programs
A view in the 'Dutch' hangar. Clean, clear, medium space but fairly acceptable .....
... and 'leeuwarden' and 'Volkel' brother to brother together !
This brings us almost to the end of page 2 and the next and last impressions on page 3
     
Huh ??  Oh, this bell ? It's 'Volkel's' and it travels e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e  where Volkel goes !  Lt.Cln. Marcel takes a look at his material.
