Photo Comment

A-007 was present for a week-long squadron rotation with the Dutch 315sq that operated NF-5A/B's. A-007 is seen here in a beautiful late-fall sunshine at the taxiway of Twenthe. The Draken made its first flight on 6 Nov'70 and was delivered to the RDAF on 19 Nov'70. It made its last flight on 26 May'92. It was preserved at Aalholm castle, with the local Automobil museum, from early'' 94 up to early'11 when the museum closed. The F35 was partly scrapped in May'12 but its forward fuselage was saved (preserved in Roskilde at youthclub Viadukten), rear fuselage stored at Österlens Flygmuseum.
