Sporting the badge of 314 squadron, which flew Thunderstreaks out of Eindhoven from 1956 until 1970.

Painted as an F-100C of the Soesterberg-based USAFE squadron, this is actually 54-2265.

The best German fighter of the Great War, the D.VII served with many countries after WWI, including the Netherlands, where Anthony Fokker returned, and the USA. This aircraft, German army serial D.436/18, went to the USA but was in civilian hands as N3764, starred in Howard Hughes' air war movie Hell's Angels. From 1954 it was N4729V. Now preserved in early Dutch 'orange meatball' markings.

The Hunter F.4 was superseded by the F.6 model in the Netherlands air force, and this Fokker-built aircraft saw less than three years of service. Seen behind the nosewheel is a belly pack containing a Hunter's four 30-mm guns.

The service period of the C-47 with the Koninklijke Luchtmacht or Royal (Netherlands) Air Force was relatively short, the indigenous Fokker F.27 starting to replace it in 1960. A couple of C-47s served in Dutch New Guinea until late 1962. This is actually a Danish machine, ex K-688.

The Dutch air force used eight wheeled Alouette IIs for SAR duties in the early 1960s. This airframe actually belonged to the Belgian army as A29. The real H-4 was sent to Dutch New Guinea (now Indonesian Papua) with a Hunter squadron in 1961.

The Meteor F.4 was the Netherlands air force's first jet fighter, entering service in 1948.

Painted as an aircraft of 32 Fighter Interceptor Squadron, which flew the F-102 from nearby Soesterberg in the 1960s. Real serial is 56-1052.
