No blue sky this time, but with somewhat dramatic darker clouds in the background.
These are the great pilots of the Turkish Stars flying in the Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter wich untill the early nineties of the last century did belong to the Duthch Air Force.
It was for the first time since than that they were back in the Netherlands and they made a great performance.
