90 year KLM (1-1-2009 Formation flight)

Post by K2G »

Who can tell me more about a KLM anniversary flight, which will take place on January 1 2009 (newyearsday :lol: ). The flight over The Netherlands will be escorted by two Volkel F-16's. (and a photoship F-16B). Because of the endurance of the flight the two escort F-16's will change with new ones halfway. So Volkel will fly with at least 5 F-16's that day.

Who have more info about this KLM anniversary flight ?

Belachelijk dat onze KLu F-16's voor zo iets onzinnigs worden gebruikt. Om nog maar niet te spreken over de kosten om twee vliegvelden te
openen op deze feestdag. Waardoor dus ook weer personeel op hun vrije dag moet komen opdraven.....

Als ze zoiets willen doen, doe het dan een dag later als de velden toch open zijn en het personeel toch moet werken. Gelukkig is onze
basiscommandant op Eindhoven er niet in getrapt om open te gaan voor dit soort ongein.

Wat ik overigens heb begrepen is, dat ze dit met een KLM 747 willen gaan doen.

Groeten, Rob.
