Due to runway maintenance at Leeuwarden AB, the Starfighters of 322/323 squadron were temporary operating from Soesterberg AB, where the unique howling sound of the J-79 turbojet engines filled the skies from July 25 until September 17, 1977. The badge on the tail shows an owl ('Meneer de Uil') holding the TCA shield. This photo is copyright © Cor Vermolen, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
