De Koninklijke Luchtmacht viert dat zij 70 jaar “Koninklijk” is en 110 jaar in de militaire luchtvaart. Daarvoor wordt bij het Nationaal Militair Museum een flypast gehouden met verschillende typen vliegtuigen. Dit vindt plaats 30 juni 's middags.
Does anyone know more about which aircraft/ helicopters to expect? And is it a separate event from the traditional fly past/ missing man formation?
My last question is fueled by the fact that on the defensie.nl site a separate entry was made:
1 juli herdenking Koninklijke Luchtmacht
Besluit | 28-03-2023
Op vrijdag 30 juni wordt op voormalige Vliegbasis Soesterberg de 1 juli herdenking van het Commando Luchtstrijdkrachten gehouden. Een deel van de ceremonie bestaat uit het uitvoeren van een flypast met een missing man-formatie van 4 jachtvliegtuigen. Tijdens een flypast verlaat 1 van de vliegtuigen de formatie ter nagedachtenis van de gevallenen.
The 30th of June the 110th anniversary of the KLu and the 50th anniversary of the KNVOL will be celebrated at the MLM. It is a PRIVATE event. There will be a fly by of old and new aircraft at 1530 and 1545, which should be well visible from the old 09 threshold or from the dirt path from the end of the line of aircraft shelters past the glider runway. At 1600 an Apache will take off. I have no idea when it is due in. Several aircraft from the storage should by now have been put on display outside on the ramp by the museum building.

I can confirm that the following aircraft from the depot are on display on the ramp in front of the museum at the moment, I visited the Museum this afternoon.
the aircraft are:
USAF T-37
RNLAF TF-104G
RNLAF T-33
RNLAF Hawker Hunter
RNLAF Fokker S.14
Kon. Marine US-2N
RNLAF Alouette III "Grasshoppers demo team c/s"
I expect that the Orange Jumper and the Phantom will be rolled out of the depot on friday afternoon because the NMM said that the Orange Jumper will be on display during the 'zomeroffensief' and the Phantom is always present during the 'zomeroffensief'

This afternoon again a formation of 2 F-35’s and 2 F-16’s flew over the former air base. Unfortunately from the position of the NMM it was impossible to tell if they were the same aircraft as “the missing man formation” earlier this day. Anyone for the serials?

Are these visible without entering the museum?
Yes they are...
In addition to the list above the J-066 was indeed outside, as well as Meteor I-19. The Phantom is parked in the back of the depot hangar, so don't expect that one outside this weekend.
