Just took off from the water of the Hoornsche Hop, and is seen here flying in the direction of the town of Hoorn. Photo taken from a RIB (rigid-inflatable boat). Regrettably, after having spent 24 years of its life in the Netherlands, this magnificent aircraft was sold to the Collins Foundation on 11 Oct 2018. It left Dutch waters forever on delivery to the USA on 29 May 2019. This photo is copyright © Aad van der Voet, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
