Somewhat backlit to get a shot of this side of the new DC-3 in the miniature city of Madurodam theme park. This DC-3 originally N213GB was rescued from Florida in 2018. Some pictures of the airplane there are available on this website too. Search the web for the blog of the "Dakota Hunter" to read his story about the journey of this aircraft.

New in the miniature city of Madurodam theme park in the city of The Hague is this fully restored DC-3. In the future it will offer "flights" over the miniature town, in a mechanical way. It looks like a large jack will lift the fuselage. This feature is not yet ready. The DC-3 is ex N213GB which was transported by boat from Florida in late 2018. The fake registration PH-APM refers to Albert Plesman, founder of KLM in 1919, over 100 years ago. Note for photographers, it is pretty difficult to get the registration in on this side, which has the afternoon sun. Bring a long lens to allow a distant shot.

In 1992 Fokker was still producing aircraft, and trying to sell the Fokker 100 product at the ILA in Berlin. This airframe came of the productionline in April 1992. After being used for demonstrations in 1992 it began its operational life with Palair Macedonian in late Januari 1993. This adventure only lasted about 6 weeks. The airplane crashed during take off from Skopje on 5 March 1993. That unfortunately makes this a rare airframe, as it did even reach the age of 1 year.

Pretty disappointed that I didn't get a better picture of this Yakovlev 40. Although it also does paint a nice picture of the time, looking at the man with his video camera.
