Leeuwarden 2011 16 & 17 september Opinions and chit chat

[Flyboy]

For the record:

RNLAF days are still a GO! Do not spread rumours and if you do so please print your source.

@jb5,

I am glad to read the rumour I heard was just a rumour. Thanks for your information to conform the dutch airshow is still going on.

Looking forward to visit the show at Leeuwarden in september.

Grtz,

Edward.

Can anybody tell me how far the railway station is to the base and whether or not there will be a bus transfer service in operation on the main show days?

The Air Force had advertised two or three Leeuwarden events ago it should be 45 minutes walking (for if people didn't want to wait for their turn to be transported). At the main showdays there are always shuttle busses running from one or two railwaystations to the airforcedays, whereever they are held (for Leeuwarden only from Leeuwarden itself though). Unfortunately nowadays at Leeuwarden they don't drop you off direct at the gate anymore but you have to go for a short walk (few minutes) over a specially laid down temporary road.

Looks like the RNLAF is doing it"s best despite defence cuts to organize a great show!I hope the wheather will be better in September,I remember last year in the rain Thumps up for the organisers !

I look at the official KLu Open Dagen site, and must say that participation for the show is very poor.... No idea why, but with the list published right now, it should be a very sad Airshow

Never look only at the official list on the website, they are always slow with updating and more then 50% is still missing

I think the "Opinions and Chit Chat" thread is about to be updated very soon...

Apparently not

Unlike those German Phantoms

But a Typhoon is still nice

The airpower demo seems to be interesting with an paradrop of dutch marines, in combination with troops from Chinooks and attacks by Apaches and F-16's.

Still, I would love to see and old fashioned base attack were loads of fighters come in from all directions very fast and very low. These days an air attack is more selective pin-pointing, wereas in the cold war it was more "omploegen".

We don't have loads of fighters anymore.

We don't have loads of fighters anymore.

Two years ago there were about the same number of F-16s flying in the Airpower demo as there were in the good old base-attacks.
