Are we dealing with an incarnated "SPADE" fan here ? (Maybe an old crewchief) :o)

Unthinkable today ???????
The spirit is still high in the squadrons & the Danish Airforce is writing history these days. Funny insidents like the ones described above has also occured in the f16 days (escort with "Klaphat" just to mention
one).

RUN


If "SPADE" is for Draken You might be right, but I'm just another danish avi.freak! With the age of 40 I've used most of my youth with bending my neck backwards after the destinctive howl of the Starfighters, enjoyning the "humpty dumpty"- moves of the F 100's laying eggs on the clear blue sky by using the burner during dogfight excercises and loving the sight of the Saab double-delta in the air!
Related to my "disbelieving" to the SQ's: there is a fine line between my expression "GO", and Your defence of "the spirit" of today!
Even though my avi. interrest and joy by the European soccerchampionship in '92 (in between i've investigated the "mexico W C" to be in '86!!), I'm not able to remember the "klaphat" story, and are together with Rapier looking foreward to hear (refresh?) it.
I remember Rapier as canadian(?), boy You have got yourself in trouble by mention the "klaphat": I cant see how I would explain what the word covers ;o)
