Helo Kees,

yes I did, close up to the fence when it still was allowed. Nowadays you need to stay clear 6 feet of the fence...

was there 3 weeks ago on a sunday..., no problems with the fence,
or just ask the visiting pilot's if the are willing to walk with you on the flightline.
It worked for us!

Hey Roel, seems you had quite the day. Getting on the Platform with the pilots is not a problem as I discovered this a few times. However since september signs are up telling this to stay clear of the fence, but with some good timing you can take quick pictures at the fence with a step(unless they took down the signs)
The only problem now is that damn containers in the foreground

Nice shots Roel, look quite familiar 8)
Bjorn, either I didn't look carefully enough or the signs were taken down. I didn't see anything...
