Now now now, please mind the language. This isn't the Tattle Lounge. Of course we all would've liked a RIAT-like grandstand with free or even paid access to the marquee where drinks would be readily availableefa78 wrote:Dutch air force a big delusion!!!!!!!
but still, there's a Tiger Meet and you can always go to Volkel and have a good view from outside the fence./kras.gif)
How come? As mentioned above here, they are working on 2 spotters days for likely 500 persons each time so there will be somethingefa78 wrote:Dutch air force a big delusion!!!!!!!
How is that a pitty? I think it would be great from the Volkel organizers to give 1000 people free entrance..Nilson wrote:As far as I know the MoD is not allowed to charge a fee! So in these times maybe understandable! Though a pitty!
Why o why should you be negative towards the Dutch MoD? You're probably also 'negative' towards the Staatsloterij for not giving you 27,5 million Euros? Face the facts, as said before: it is an exercise, and 1000 people will have the opportunity to get in, for free. That's still a lot of people, "spotter 1001" and others will have to make do with arrival shots. And Volkel is not a bad airbase for photography from outside the fence!Nilson wrote:@DJ. A pitty for person 1001 and more. A few people will not be able to enter, regarding the number of people!
I am nog negative towards Dutch MoD!
And now for the good news: At the Airforce days only 400 spotters were allowed at the base, (and I recall there were not that many more that wanted to get in, according to the organisation) so with 500 a day even this still stretched to (or maybe even over) the max MoD tries to do whatever they can for us spottersHurricane wrote:How come?

. The only thing that is said is that there will not be a public event (like an airshow or something, which has not been at every NTM in history, but is a bonus if it happens) during the weekend so IMO the only people that can moan are our "beloved" "dagjesmensen".
