  E 2 OF 2.......    ...PAGE 3 OF 3

COOPERATION ON THE PLATFORM AND IN THE AIRi
Finally some images at- and around the platform.
 F-16's who are parked inside the hangar at night are called 'binnenslapertjes' or 'inside-sleepers'
hIt's all there to be mounted in minutes: Recce pods.
Handyman can do it with a small machine: Towing the F-16 out of the hangar
In front of the main hangar.....
..... and a few minutes later in the rain.
Leftmost the MIG's are also preparing to 'meet' the F1-16's air-to-air.
Recce equipped for this morning, Dutch in blue...
....ans white for the Poles.
Szkolny literal means 'School'.
The Polish QRA side of the field. The MIG's are often in disadvantage, because of no visual sight behind the pilot.....
.... while very good to see the F-16 pilot can almost see 360 degrees around. Though, a very smart flying Polish pilot........   :-)))) 
Equipment of the Polish pilots is quite simple but effective. F-16's last check outside by the pilot himself...
.....if it were only for his own peace of mind.
Again good to see that the MIG pilots have less purview behind- and besides them.
Mostly the F-16 is in the advantace by the dogfights, but as stated, never underestimate a smart flying MIG pilot who can fool you.
'Standby on QRA' 
Once more this shows that the pilot has little view besides him on both flanks
Back on track to the platform...
....underneath along the tower... 
....which is always a treat for the photographer !
Another flight of the F-16 J-016, starting in the rain...
....ending in sunshine.
4 **** MIG pilots
Tremendous exhausts of the twin-engined fighter-jet 
Reserve QRA 
Are the wheels out by landing ??
Break-chute thrown off in the corner
Preparations for the evening flights
A low sun gives nice effects, and this way we come almost to the end of the Malbork QRA presentation
Many happy landings you all, and may a real escalation be avoided in future. May reason prevail !
The bell will be hosted up till december...
.....as well as the Mobile Sattelite Kitchen, which will also serve other delicious meals as the one on the left !  ;-))
             
Our heartfelt thanks to the Royal Netherlands Airforce, Lt.Cln. Marcel, MCD, Frank Crebas and last but not least Joyce ! 
Willem also thanks for your collegiate competition and sociability ! It was great fun.
