Re: EHKD 29-5-2024 MIL

Utrecht is also in the description, is there a place in Utrecht that they will specifically fly over, or just back home? Maybe a flyover above the Van Braam Houckgeest kazerne/barracks in Doorn? This is where all active Marines units are based. It's technically not the city of Utrecht but the provi...

Re: Dutch Hawker Hunter Foundation ceases operations

BTW, was it ever considered that the Hunters would used for contracting services to the CLSK (or other airforces for that matter). In the same way the Draken, ATAC's etc. do this?

Re: Dutch Hawker Hunter Foundation ceases operations

Sad indeed. Goes to show that flying and maintaining a fleet of such planes by private means is not for the faint-hearted.

Re: Voor het eerst naar Spangdahlem.

Serieuze vraag: Waarom een PM? Met andere woorden: even er van uitgaande dat het informatie relevant voor de vraag is, waarom niet hier delen? Inzake Spang: Volgens mij kan je hier prima staan aan beide zijdes als er voldoende afstand tot het hek gehouden wordt, netjes de instructies van autoriteite...

There is a huge difference between donating them or selling mil. stock for hard cash
Hard cash and the Argentinian peso? :D

Re: 2022-2023-2024-2025 : RNLAF Open Days / Open Dagen Luchtmacht ?

Wat bijzonder jammer is nu Defensie afscheid neemt, en daarmee Nederland van de F-16. Wordt die mijlpaal wel gevierd, wat met een Open Dag heel mooi en passend lijkt te zijn geweest, of gaat dit met de spreekwoordelijke "stille trom"? Grtzzz, Stafsels Ik denk dat Defensie wel wilt, maar dat eerder ...

Unpopular thought: the actual participants probably couldn't care less if we percieve this years edition as "poor". It's valuable training any which way you put it..

Re: 80 Years 322 22 September

Axel or Axe flight? Got this from the MSF mailinglist:
Axe 01 flight 22-5683, 20-5598, 20-5617 departed 10.05 to Leeuwarden,
possibly early arrivals for Frisian Flag. I would expect Axe 03 20-5614
joined them.
Don't know about the Frisian Flag part though ;-)
