They were F-4's, I saw them overflying my house , just south of Groningen. Found it strange to see a Airliner with 2 fighters close behind it.

What I don't understand why did the Germans intercept and not the Dutch QRA? They were allowed to cross all of Belgium & Holland before being intercepted, what if there was intent to do harm? Yes, I do realize they are small countries...
