Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).
Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Maybe they should paint the aviodrome one as well?
What goes up..........Must come down for maintenance

Why? Both planes at the Aviodrome are painted nicely (NLM CityHopper and prototype colours)...
What are the plans for this true gem of Dutch Aviation History , always wondered why there was no airplanes on static display at the former Fokker Site , would have been awesome to see an F-27/28/50/70/100/VFW-614 and even a 1:10 scale model of the F-29 on static display , so much aviation history. Maybe somebody can shed some light on this , would it even be a possible to have all the gem's re-united at Schiphol - Oost (Ringvaart) as a static display team park ?

Will be placed as static display at the Anthony Fokker Business Park, Oude Meer. (Former Fokker Factories)
I don't have a question about the aircraft, but about the apon it sits on: this is a very old ramp by the looks of it? Does it date back to WW2, cause it all started at Schiphol East in those days I think? I'm not able to identify this apron on sattelite photos...

Stephan,
This is the apron where Hangar 9 supposed to be the old ''kingsford smith'' hangar, it has been scrapped a few years back.
Its located between Hangar 10 and the KLM engine shop.
