Ex-USAF 44-77083, ex- RAF KN699. After serving for the Dutch Air Force, the aircraft went back to the USAF as 44-77083 before becoming FAC-965 for the Colombian Air Force. In 1981, it became FAP-2030 for the Paraguayan Air Force. Written off on November 24, 1994 near Puerto la Victoria. In 2010 it was reported stored/derelict in Guazu. Judging by the bystanders, some sort of official visit just took place.

A look into the thriving aviation scene at Eelde in the 80's. Various general aviation aircraft, an RLS Citation (the RLS later became the KLM Flight Academy), an Air Holland Boeing 757 rolling onto the apron and the Fokker 50 prototype(?) climbing out from runway 05. Photo taken by Aerophoto Eelde and found while clearing out the basement.

A glimpse of the refuelling possibilities in the 1970's can be seen with this 1969-built 'old-school' Gulfstream. This one was still flying 30 years later, but I am unsure of its whereabouts now.

This aircraft was a regular visitor in the early 1980's and is seen here getting refueled. What is also of interest is the new tower being built next to the old one. Such a difference and the new tower still looks exactly like that today.

This V-8AP, an early Mi-8 prototype, was presumably taken in June 1965 when it was on its way to the air show at Le Bourget, just like many other aircraft did back in the day. Its c/n is thought to be 0203. The registration CCCP-06181 was later falsely painted on c/n 3135 (preserved at the Technik Museum Speyer) and on c/n 0604 (preserved at Monino). It was also re-used by a Mi-26.

This picture was taken after the Piper had crashlanded just 450m short of runway 23. It suffered a #2 engine failure (fuel starvation) about 15 mins before the aircraft would be landing. The pilot forgot to adjust the blades and so the propellor kept windmilling. He was desperately trying to keep his course using all means he had, but when the #1 engine also gave in, the situation couldn't be controlled anymore and the aircraft went down. Luckily, all 5 occupants survived without any injuries worth mentioning.

This old lady started her life in the USAF as 42-92298, became FZ549 in the RAF and then moved on to civilian duties. Those duties started with a transfer to KLM in 1947 and in 1949 it got registered as PH-TDV, was reregistered PH-UEV for a brief while before becoming PH-DAV (also with KLM). After that, she went to Itavia as I-TAVE and she ended her life with Pluna as CX-BDA. She never flew for Pluna, but was used for spare parts and is subsequently scrapped now.

A quartet of Hiller UH-12's of the Royal Navy making a fuel stop at Eelde. Later, this helicopter became G-BDYY and EI-BCA. It was cancelled April 7, 1987 and became SX-HCD. Besides XS705, you can also see XS160/48, XS166/41 and XS168/47. These Hillers were built as three-seat dual-control light utility and observation helicopters and were used in the Navy as training aircraft.

This airframe is now preserved in the Air Force musuem in Jyvaskyla, Finland. This picture was taken by Harm Reinders in a cold winter in the 1970s, when this Dak was still in active service for the Ilmavoimat, which I can only assume to be the Finnish name for Air Force. In the background you can see a Fokker 27 of the NLM or KLM Cityhopper, with a Piper twin in between the Dakota and Fokker.
