Just read that the Dutch Air Force open day planned at Volkel in 2017 is cancelled.
So no Dutch Open Dagen

Pity, always enjoy my trips to the Open Daagen.

Reason is not enough manpower and time to organise these days. As well the airforce need more recuparation time after their recent deployments.

If they hadn't used such expensive paint on the Orange Lion we'd have been fine.

With the first opportunity for Airforcedays in '19, I guess there will be a Lightning II displayteam by then. That is if there won't be a F-35-F16 2-ship display comparing/hand over period. The last bit is just wishfull thinking.st24 wrote:So we can kiss goodbye to a Dutch solo F-16 again... Wimps!
A weather forecast is a forecast and just that
