Woensdrecht, situated in the south west part of Holland, houses the KLu training squadron with Pilatus PC-7s. Also at this base the Dutch Air Force is maintaining most of their aircraft and uses it as a storage facility.
On the other part of the field, Fokker Services is responsible for maintaining a lot of Fokker products, like F-27, F-50, F-28, F-70 and F-100, and recently started with Boeing 737 maintenance as well. As there is a large storage apron here, a visit to Woensdrecht is allways good for some nice, exotic, aircraft.
As this is a very large base and most of the base is packad with trees not much can be seen from outside, except for the aircraft parked at the Fokker facility and some storage points.

First place to check out is the staff parking to the right of the gate. This parking place is normally closed during weekends and is private property, so officialy you're not allowed to enter it and the security staff makes sure that you can't enter it by foot. It is the only place to see aircraft parked in front of the maintenance hangars on this side.
If you go to the other side of the entrance, there is a large parking place. If you leave your car here and start walking to the fence, it is possible to take a short walk around the corner with brilliant views of the parked and stored aircraft.
