Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.

Thank god there's a piece of beautiful Dtuch helo history in nice condition! It looks as if it could just fire up and take off (can it??!).
The camo Alouette's where the first contact I ever had with aviation when my dad flew them and the passion that sparked never went away.

if you're talking about the Alouette's, then they have to get some repairs before they can take-off safely. During the enigen runs they encoutered some fuel leaks. And the shafts to drive the rotors are missing, the rotors aren't connected to the engine.

There are missing a lot of parts, of all planes, incl. the Alouette. So the change to make it flyable is nihil I think. But maybe they will find some parts back....

Flying state? That something the teachers never heard. They just threw away €20.000 on a bad Jetstream deal , they wanted to have the Jetstream that parked for years at Rotterdam, we even got some parts of it lying and waiting.

There isn't even money to buy some jetfuel to start-up the T-33 (my class wanted to do that as a project but they simply "forgot" about it)
And in the near future they want to buy a Fokker F27, yes really. When that illusion becomes true, highly doubt it, at least the T-33 and the F-84 are being sold.

So sorry to spoil you're dream, maybe oneday there is somebody with brains who buys it and restores it but it will definatly not happen when in the ROC inventory.

I can confirm that the F-27 will come to Hoofddorp, and that the T-33 and one F-84 will leave the hangar. Last week (Wednesday) the school has decide to buy the F-27. In februari, I will start with removing a lot of parts like fairings, fuel/hydr/pneum. lines and more. In May, the wings and other parts will be removed for transportation to Hoofddorp. I'm the leader of this project. Four students will help me with this job, to get the F-27 in Hoofddorp, in May of this year. Normally I should never help the ROC because I'm not amused about this school, but I like the project so I decide to attend the project.

Maybe the T-33. It got a working engine. Too bad the tip tanks are gone.

It's the C-10, the Fokker F27 Troopship which can be found at the Military Air Force Museum in Soesterberg (see picture below)
