NH90 N318 of RNeth. Navy had a badge of P843 Groningen coastal patrol ship on the right
side behind the cockpit. Below there were 5 other white stickers with a blue star and and crossed red bars on them.
Additionally 5 different numbers (125/300/325/128/1937).
Can somebody tell me the meaning?
CSX62219 had Callsign "Spartan" and the C17 had Callsign "Reach" (both had no numbers in the Callsign).
The Austrian PC7 was ASF81 (but was also called PC7 by the ATC)
That's all I remember
What is the reason for only 2021 being the next klu open days? 2014 gilze, 2015 not, 2016 leeuwarden, 2017 skipped, 2018 regular not, 2019 Volkel, should be 2020 Gilze...
Yet the video in the app gave 2021 Gilze as the next one... new sheme or going to a system of ones in the two year just like the baf?
Normally these open days are held every two years. In the far past it was every year, but defense cuts made it every two years. This time there were three years inbetween because the air force had too much personnel occupied with operations abroad. There simply wasn't enough staff available to organize such a big event.

A few years ago they switched to a cycle where they held the event twice every three years. So once every to years should be incorrect I believe.
Voorheen werden de dagen tweemaal per drie jaar gehouden.
Dat verschuift nu naar eens per twee jaar.
De locatie wisselt iedere editie tussen Volkel, Leeuwarden en Gilze-Rijen.
