No Lynx at the Heldair Show indeed, but the "Wereldhavendagen" in Rotterdam :!: may see the final public appearance of a Dutch Navy Westland Lynx (yes, DHC/KLu these days etc...)
And hopefully "flying"...

Another two participants: Red Star Rebels are now confirmed at the show's website and a parajump from a C-47. Pictures seem to indicate this would be Drag-em-Oot. This jump should culminate into a demonstration of folding the chutes.

The until now missing DHC base will also participate: static added: KLu historical Flight bringing its Beech 18, 2* Harvard and an Instructor.
The flying will see a fire-fighting demo from a Cougar.

This news might disappoint some of you.

From airshows.be (post by 'Sanicole') about the Red Star Rebels:
Correct remark, they cancelled out today as the team does not get ready to perform in 2012 as they have a few mechanical errors. So the team will perform for the first time in 2013 and will come next year to Sanicole.
I was realy looking forward the see this team performing but this is not going te happen, at least this year.

So no L-29s, that's a shame.
Is there any change we can see some foreign military (navy) helicopters? Were the colleagues from Germany and the UK invited? Hope so...

If they can get all the paperwork in place in time, the Red Star Rebels will be replaced by a pair of Jet Provosts, according to one of the pilots at UKAR.

Great pictures... especially the one I made. No permissions were asked (or given) and no credit visible :evil:
For how many days has that detailshot of the jump been on the website?

Dakota C-47 Drag 'em Oot may already arrive this Wednesday at Lelystad according to
http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=88865

As can be seen at
http://luchtvaartnieuws.nl/nl-NL/Articl ... ket_Garden
Den Helder De Kooy will not be the only event this Saturday where she is expected to drop parachutists.

For those wishing to book a helicopter sightseeing flight with a Sikorsky S-92 or AS365 N3 Dauphin : be EARLY :!: Back in 2009 these flights sold out like hot cakes when sales opened in the morning... :(
http://www.heldairshowmaritiem.nl/index/rondvluchten
De kaarten kosten 40 euro per stuk (u kunt met PIN betalen).

De rondvluchten vinden plaats tussen 10.00 en 13.00 uur. De kaartverkoop start om 8.30 uur.

Neemt u wel een geldig legitimatiebewijs (paspoort, identiteitskaart of rijbewijs) mee.
