Re: Defensienota September 2024: "extra F-35s and NH-90s to be added to the KLu RNLAF"...

We halen daarvoor de banden aan met alle betrokkenen: van bedrijven en investeerders tot kennisinstituten, van de NCTV en ministeries in Den Haag tot provincies en gemeenten door heel het land. Van grote maatschappelijke organisaties tot individuele burgers . I have an idea how to do this: annual m...

Re: Google maps: RIAT 2024

Interesting! Makes you wonder what day that was, as the F-16 line-up is missing.. Most F-16's are scatterd around the "static side flightline". Friday? Just check that the public isn't in the most western bit, what other day can it have been? (only red and blue open, green still being bui...

Re: 2022-2023-2024-2025 : RNLAF Open Days / Open Dagen Luchtmacht ?

For 2025 it is announced that there are no Navy-days (next planned now for 2027). One of the reasons is the NATO summit that will need a lot of military personel. Due to the dates of that summit (the week that is directly after the traditional Air Force days weekend) I presume it is very unlikely to...

Re: russische mig stort neer in kortrijk in 1989

Also as subject in a novel: Heldere hemel by Tom Lanoye. Boekenweekgeschenk van 2012. Rond die tijd stond er ook een artikel in de Aircraft Illustrated (dacht dat het toen nog zo heette, nog niet Classic Aircraft) over dit "incident" vanuit het oogpunt van de Eagle jockeys als een side ar...

Reminds me of the walrus that kept a Dutch submarine in the harbour by resting on the top of it. What made that one even more special was that the sub was from the walrus class.

If you make a payment in Euros and use the correct IBAN and BIC, it shouldn't cost more than a payment within a country. It is an EU law. Maybe you have to pay to get your DKr converted into Euros, but are these fees so high?

Science museum Wroughton

Seen this today via twitter, having a building demolished might not be the most reasonable reason to open a new topic, but the article also mentions that this was needed to have this site opening after years of being closed. When this was still occassionally open, there were a number of pictures on ...

In '97 HAT used Fokker 50s from KLM Cityhopper. TTA was used a lot of times by scramble.

Ik geloof dat we sinds Balkenende I al een rechts kabinet hebben. Maar maakt niet uit. Volgens mij is het probleem geld en personeel (en de relatie daartussen). Als je een taartdiagram zou zien van de overheidsuitgaven (bijv. hier: https://www.rijksfinancien.nl/visuals/2022/begroting/uitgaven/incl-...

The June 21-27 schedule makes an appearance at RIAT very very uncertain.

Re: 2022-2023-2024 : RNLAF Open Days / Open Dagen Luchtmacht ?

And what if we would held it at deelen or de peel, flying only? Like last time Cambrai? Wouldn't do any justice to an F-16 farewell. Also, those fields don't even have a basic plan for the event that you can pull out of a drawer and "only" have to adjust from lessons learned from the last...

Wat bijzonder jammer is nu Defensie afscheid neemt, en daarmee Nederland van de F-16. Wordt die mijlpaal wel gevierd, wat met een Open Dag heel mooi en passend lijkt te zijn geweest, of gaat dit met de spreekwoordelijke "stille trom"? Grtzzz, Stafsels Maybe a formation overflying some pla...
