EHAM MIL late 80's/early 90's

Post by Polleke_NL »

Ran into some old pics of military aircraft which I took very late 1980's / very early 1990's at EHAM, but unfortunately I never bother to put any dates with them and now I try to retrieve that info. I hope some number crunchers can help me out with this?

following were parked at AeroGround Services;

USAF 62-4127 TC-135
USAF 66-7954 C-141 (white)
USAF 58-6971 C-137
USAF 72-7000 C-137
USAF 62-6000 C-137
USAF 65-9405 C-141 (camo)
USMC 160047 C-9
USAF 70-0465 (camo, delivering a presidential Huey and limo's, anyone an idea which Huey this was??)
IAF 4X-FBA C-130

Following was parked at East:
RN XR445 Heron C1

I think this was their only visit, George Bush (the first) was the first president to visit the Netherlands ever, and the last to fly with these 707's.

I'm quite sure it delivered 2 H-3's of VMX1. No serials, though.

But it might well be it also visited on other occasions.

Ah, so this picture is older then I thought :lol: - thanks both for your help !!

As for the Heron C1 XR445; apparently this was a regular visitor to EHAM, in that case, could I get the dates between 1989 and 1991 that it came to EHAM ? I can probably, if I put these next to my old agenda's, determine which date it actually has been....

62-4127 was a C-135B in those days, operating for 1st MAS/89th MAW/Military Airlift Command. Some sources even refer to it as VC-135B. It was converted to TC-135W late 2005 through the Rivet King project.

Stephan
