F16 double Can't remember this one at all same year ,

Didn't know they had 2 seater F16s but she was from Norway so assum it was a trainer,
from my personal pics Sorry about the quality but they are from original negatives.

The F16 is a B and is used as a trainer by Denmark!

Great selection of pics there HH. Although I was just starting my stroppy teenage years then, I still had a great passion for aviation & those pictures just remind me of going to airshows seeing every plane I could dream of :ymdaydream: . Just a shame that now as an Adult attending airshows, I'm looking at the skies dreaming of Aircraft I know i'll never see flying again :(( :(( :(( :(( .

I'll have to prompt my Dad to look for his old airshow pics again (I don't think he looked hard enough last time), or just ransack the place when they go on holiday next :ymdevil: . My Dad was photography mad back then as we had a dark room, so he could develop all his own shots. Now he just moans "its all got too expensive & 35mm is better" (-|.

That's an F-111 Aardvark, Jim, beloved of the RAAF!

Still flying down under......

Old pics are Fine, too. It's what's in them that counts!
