NF-5A 313 squadron
Valkenburg, 9 October 1984.
Overshooting runway 24 at Valkenburg. K-3058 is painted in F-16 scheme with the serial large on the tail.
My local airbase was only 2 km's from the coast. And the coastline was a much used route for Dutch fighters travelling from their bases in the south to the shooting ranges on the islands in the north.
When they entered the Valkenburg control zone and if traffic was low, the ATC sometimes invited the pilots to make an approach.
K-3058 was sold to Turkey and flew with the Turkish Stars. I saw it in 2010 and 2011.
