Description

Back to the 1990 Open Day at RAF Manston in Kent, as this F-16A from the Royal Netherlands Air Force launches to begin its display. Back then, there seemed to be a friendly rivalry between the Dutch and Belgians over who did the best F-16 displays. In earlier years, I always thought that the Dutch usually slightly edged it. Now of course, nobody touches the Belgian F-16 display although the Polish at Radom recently ran it very close. Taken using Kodak Ektachrome 100 slide film with a Pentax SFXn 35mm camera fitted with a manual focus Sigma 400mm prime lens.
