Two F-16s of the Dutch QRA at Volkel intercepted an Onur Air Airbus A321 this Sunday morning the 20th of June. Air Traffic Control could not establish radio contact with the airliner while she flew from the east towards Dublin.
When the Airbus entered Dutch Airspace the A321 finally did contact ATC, after which both jet fighters returned to base.
This was the first "live scramble" of a Dutch QRA in 2010.

I thought the QRA is at Leeuwarden at the moment?
