F-16s return to Volkel AB
Due to too much crosswind at home base Volkel ( ICAO: EHVK), 8 F-16s from the Royal Netherlands Air Force diverted to nearby Eindhoven airbase ( ICAO: EHEH). The limits for safe landing were exceeded at Volkel AB due to the strong winds. But because the runway of EIndhoven AB has a different orientation, it was still safe to land there. The 8 F-16s returned to their home base Volkel later that day. When the afterburners hit the wet runway, vapour and steam was produced.
