Assigned to the 1 Canadian Air Division at Baden-Sollingen, this Hornet visited Leeuwarden with seven others. 188747 is seen here passing the ATC tower of Leeuwarden. The aircraft crashed years later when assigned to 4 Wing Cold Lake (AB). It crashed inside the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range in Saskatchewan during a weapons delivery mission, not far from the Primrose Lake Evaluation Range, on 28 November 2016.
