RNethAF demo Apache Q-17

Post by planekees »

This week the Dutch Air Force demo Apache has been practicing at Gilze-Rijen for the coming airshow season. It still wears the colours of the 2011 season but now has the titles "100 military aviation 1913-2013" applied to celebrate this years 100th anniversary of the Dutch Air Force. Yesterday I was lucky because the team was performing for filmcrews and photographers to create promotion material and they did one practice in the morning and one in the evening around sunset.
Perhaps interesting for my English friends because the team will perform at Volkel during this years open days and undoubtly at a number of other events.

Excellent sunset shots, somehow it doesn't look as intimidating with this colour scheme as it does in black with rocket pods etc :smile:
