Serial requested: Visit Clinton The Hague 28-05-1997

Post by Pelican34 »

Hi all,

Is there someone who kept a log of the visit of then president Clinton to The Hague? I remember a VH-3 and AS532 being there, but I couldn't read them and so didn't get the numbers right in those pre-Scramble Forum days. :roll:

I did manage to get some numbers at Schiphol that same day related to this visit:

Ok.

I found my photos of the landing at the Malieveld and noticed both VH-3s were present (on one photo I noticed a second tail rotor...). I can't remember if one or two Cougars joined them on their flight into The Hague, but at least I know now which VH-3s were there.

And all others, thanks for sharing your logs! I was at Valkenburg as well on the 28th, and remember what an amazing day it was with all the VIPs arriving for the NATO meeting.
