Visitors are something different from based and military operated. And I don't expect people to post, don't worry. I lost that hope a long time ago.... It's not a matter of making two messages, simply "copy paste" is enough. And you don't have to "browse" to forums, only the civil one would do. All ...

But for both Amsterdam and Rotterdam a seperate forum has been created for "MIL ONLY". That's because most mil spotters don't want to spent hours of reading civil movements and expectations hoping there might be a single mil aircraft in it. The reason there are no two forums about Eindhoven (or Twen...

Scramble database doesn't give a unit, but according to the OrBat the Royal Flight is part of 6 Wing, 602 squadron. So unless someone knows different that is the unit I write down in my notes.

Both the new Mi-8 and Su-22 come from the museum storage at Seifertshofen. The Polish MiG-21 was already Baarlo owned but lived at Niederrhein for a year and a half. Maybe it was only rented and now returned?

Hi Peter, i visited the new location as well some time ago, and asked for the aircraft. I was told that parts of the An-2 are used in a hotel (!) somewhere in Zwolle, owned by the daughter of the museum owner or something like that. The P.149 is supposed to be stored at the attick of the museum owne...

For some reason nobody posted any updates on the Thai here, on the mil part of the Roterdam forum..... Anyway, it did indeed visit, albeit with a delay of some 85 minutes. B.737-448 HS-HRH/90409/99-999 arrived around 16:50 and already left again around 17:35. A nice visitor for those who missed it a...
