At the flightline of Leeuwarden, this CF-188 was one of eight participating in a summercamp training. The Hornet belongs to 1 Canadian Air Group, based at Sollingen. 188762 was only delivered to the RCAF on 15 May 1986, so at the time of this visit near brand-new! The summercamp involved live firings over the Dutch Vliehors shooting range in which they used also their onboard M61 canon.
