Hello David,
Your site is great!!! I think the F-104 times where the best times for spotters. The pics on your site look very good, they have high quality.
Next week (wednesday) I have the oportunity to visit Grosseto Air Base. I think the EFA2000 of the 29th OCU still will be there.
I have visited Grosseto before. For pics see http://www.virtual-twenthe.nl
