Ealy in the morning I woke up and went out to get wood for the three prieplaces in the house. While Jeroen was slowly waking up and Rajesz was exploring the neigbourhood, I drove to Boleslawiec to welcome our Dutch friends in Poland. There was a lot of snow on the road and the hilly road near the farm was pretty slippery, even with winter tires. They all looked very happy and excited when they came out of the train. For most of them it was the first time in Poland and they had had lots of fun during the night train trip. Part of the group took the bus, they liked the adventure. My daughter Eva , her friend Emily and our friend Corine joined me in the car with the luggage. We had a large brunch together and then went out for a hike through the forests and fields. Although Rajesh was reading a very detailed map, we kind of lost our way as we did not walk on the path but simply straight through the bushes. As we crossed a little river my shoe broke through the ice and was totally wet. But that was all part of the fun and experience. By the fire we eat barszcz, zurek and pierogy. While we played a game called "Weiber Abend" (female night), a stranger knocked the door. This guy had to walk another 20 km to get home and he wanted to get warm. So I let him in but found out he was pretty drunk. So after some hot coffee I kindly wished him a good trip home. For us it was time to go to sleep.
Now here's something you don't expect to see at an international airport. A Grumman Prowler and what a wonderful noise it made. VMAQT-1 is based at Cherry Point NC.
AMARC, 11 June 1988.
148616 was an EA-6A (the 6th Intruder built) of VMAQ-2 (MCAS Cherry Point, NC). When I took the photo it was on its way to one of the scrapyards.
Only 27 EA-6As were built, of which I saw a couple in action at NAS Norfolk. The last were retired in the 1990s.
