This year, Frisian Flag upscales to Ramstein Flag and the weather upscaled too: a sunny and warm afternoon in spring at Leeuwarden Air Base sets the scene for some waving, a bit of powerplay and lots of jet noise.

Foggy, dark, 322 shades of grey and cold last two days of the Weapon Instructor Course (WIC) 2024. Feels-like temperature just around or below 0C and an overcast at 200ft. Far from great for aviation photo's but at least the afterburners made up for that :-)
