Operated by the Royal Navy as XJ350 in a previous life. To the museum in 1980, where the fake registration PH-MAD was applied.

Operated by the RAF between June 1961 and May 1976 as XN600. Placed on display at the Aviodrome in November 2003.

It was long thought that all pre-war KLM airrcaft were lost, until museum employees got a tip from Venezuelan colleagues during a conference in 1999. 6 months after, the pilot who had flown the Fokker in 1939 was found and thanks to his info, the aircraft was found. The aircraft had been cannibalized by local Indians, but they were willing to trade in their parts. There are videos available of this expidition, which show way more than I could ever write here. The elevated viepoint for this photo also gives a nice impression of the other '100 years of aviation' exhibitis.

Ex. US Army Air Force 42-87261. To the RAF as FR199, where it served between June 1944 and June 1945. The aircraft was damaged, repaired and transferred to the Dutch 320 Sqn (Navy) as A-22 (applied on the aircraft as 1-22). In March 1950, the serial system was revised and the aircraft became M-9 (applied as 13-9). Third serial issued in December 1950 after a complete overhaul at Aviolanda, B-9 (applied as 2-9). Operated from March 1947 until May 1954. After leaving the Navy it went to the Technical University Delft. Converted into a flight simulator. Donated to the museum in 1981.

A lovely line-up of classics in the T2 hangar. The Starfighter first flew in March 1963 and was operated by the Royal Netherlands Air Force as D-8061. The other jet is the PH-XIV, the first built/prototype Fokker S.14 Machtrainer. It was used by the NLR between 1961 and 1966. The background eyecatcher is the PH-DDZ, which has been grounded for a while now. She gave an engine to the PH-PBA to keep her flying, but there now is a good working one available for the -DDZ again. The 2-seater in the foreground is a replica Fokker D.VII, although the engine in front is an original one.

Located in an unlit area of the exhibit hall, it took a 3-minute exposure time and some Photoshop magic to get the photo up to par. SOBEH (Stichting voor de Ontwikkeling en Bouw van een Experimenteel Hefschroefvliegtuig) was founded in 1952 to develop a helicopter. Ater the H-1 followed the H-2 and an improved model, the H-3 Kolibrie was built in series by NHI. Unfortunately the aircraft wasn't a succes and production was halted in 1961 after a total of 11 had been built. The aircraft in the photo was produced by SOBEH and registered between December 1954 and March 1958. Transferred to the TU Delft and later to the HTS in Haarlem. To the museum in August 2001.

Built in 1958. To World Wide Helicopters in October 1961 as N7904C. To an unknown owner by October 1965. On October 31, 1965 the aircraft hit ditches during the landing rollout at/near El Adem, Libya. To the Technische Hogeschool Delft as an instructional frame until January 1989. Then to the Aviodrome, where the markings JZ-PAD were added.

Operated by the Spanish Air Force between December 1954 and June 1973 as T.2B-275. Later marked as 721-16. To Warbirds of Great Britain between November 1977 and May 1985 as G-BFHF. 'N7-AA' markings added in May 1985. To an aircraft museum in/near Marl-Loemuhle (Germany) and marked as D-ADAM. To the Aviodrome in March 2007, where the markings '1Z-IK' were applied. It is now on display in the indoor exhibit '100 years of aviation', with the right side of the aircraft missing.

Delivered to KLM in September 1978. Withdrawn from use and stored at Amsterdam (EHAM) on November 17, 2003. Acquired by the Aviodrome and preserved there on December 17, 2004.

For some perhaps a bunch of junk, for me a Fokker F.VIII. After its life with KLM (as PH-AED), it was sold to the Venezuelan Government in March 1939. In April 1939, the aircraft flew to Gran Sabana to try to find Captain Cardona Puig in the area of Kamarata. The aircraft landed with a tail wind and was unable to stop in time. It ran into a ditch and the left engine caught fite. While the crew managed to put out the fire, the aircraft had to be abandoned. The remains were found in 2001. Recovered by Aviodrome volunteers and transported back to the museum for display.

Once a regularly seen aircraft at Eelde, now stored at Lelystad. On October 9, 2016, the aircraft was flying from Lelystad to Eelde, but returned to Lelystad due to a nose gear problem. The nose gear did deploy but wasn't locked, which resulted in a collapse after touchdown. I can't find any info to confirm, but I doubt the aircraft has since flown.

An early (1996) example arriving from its Santa Rosa (KSTS) base. There is no past registration history for the aircraft which, if true, means it has carried the same one for 25 years. Must be a record for this class of aircraft.
