Landing at the HNLMS Van Amstel (F831) which was cruising somewhere at the North Sea off the coast the Netherlands.

Seen here landing at Leeuwarden Air Base where it was temporary on loan by 322 squadron from January 30th 1968 till end of March 1969. From August 1968 the 322 squadron badges were applied on the tail.

Operated by Conversie Afdeling Volkel (CAV) but not wearing the badges on its tail.

The pilots of the F27 fleet of the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) always enjoyed their take-off, directly after rotation they often selected gear-up. And that resulted in some nice photos! Here C-8 is seen just after take-off. The Troopship made its first flight on 6 Oct'60 as PH-FBW and was delivered to the KLu on 28 Dec'60. The aircraft was also used as demo aircraft from 1994 onwards and gave through the years a spectaular show. It was withdrawn from use in Aug'96 and became a gate-guard in late 1997. In late 2003 it became an instructional airframe at Eindhoven.

Four Dutch Apaches formed part of the MINUSMA peacekeeping force. Great photo by Sjoerd Hilckmann of Mediacentrum Defensie. Also visible are MiG-21 TZ-381 and AN-24 TZ-399.

Still in light grey color scheme.

Sporting an 860 sqn emblem on the fuselage.

The Netherlands air force F-16 test bed J-066 has now been transferred to the military museum. To mark this occasion the museum organized a night shoot for this particular aircraft.
