more info (in dutch)To our regret , we have to report that the Hawker Hunter jet fighters of the Dutch Hawker Hunter Foundation ( DHHF ) , which stationed at Leeuwarden Air Base, will not participate this summer at airshows or other aviation events.

This is due to the decision by the UK Civil Aviation Authority for all hunters under its jurisdiction to hold the land , pending the results of the investigation into the crash of a Hunter at the Shoreham Airshow in August last year . The Hunters of DHHF registered British, and therefore fall within the scope of this decision. The investigation into the crash is carried out by the Air Accident Investigations Board and its final report is expected in the second quarter.
We assume that our aircraft can fly again during the second half ; therefore they can not participate in the air show season 2016. After lifting the flight ban priority will be given first to maintenance of the Hunters in our maintenance organization in Wales (UK). The aim is that from spring 2017 both our Hunters will be seen regularly in Dutch airspace.
