KLU 104s - Part 1

Post by dennis273 » Wed Apr 06, 2022 9:49 am

Just finished re-reading Jerry Pook's "Flying Freestyle" in which he relates his time flying RF-104s with the cloggies, which has prompted me to post some KLU 104s.

Sadly I don't have any RF-104's but here is a few that I did get.

Keep the posts coming Tim. All good stuff and some just before I started spotting making me wish I'd started earlier.

Flying Freestyle is an excellent book.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

Thanks for sharing these shots, nice to see some Dutch hooters. In fact, nice to see hooters of any air arm.

Nice, Dennis. I remember the exchange in the summer of 1978. My mate and I decided to camp in Newmarket for a few days and spent most of that time at the end of LN runway :)
