Cuijk (Vierdaagsefeesten) 23/07/09
Because of the Vierdaagse the Royal Netherlands Army build a temporarly bridge every year between Cuijk and Middelaar. At the evening before the event they allways close the bridge with a show for the public.

These aircraft where seen flying:
PH-LEF Cessna 182Q (paradrop)
PH-RON Shoereder Fire Balloon G20/24 "Guijt"
PH-9B1 (paramotor)
PH-9M1 (paramotor)

Now I know why they choose the registration PH-LEF (LEF means something like "courage" in Dutch) for this Cessna. The pilot made two VERY low passes over the river Maas ! There were also another two "paramotors" flying around.

Hi all,


Here's what I managed to note between km 0 and 172...

21-7:
Elst:
Alouette III A-247 overhead

Slijk-Ewijk:
Buzzed by no less than five Fokker S-11's! E-39 positively identified, the other four believed to be the remaining asset of the Fokker Four team: E-14, E-27, E-29 and 197/K

Oosterhout:
Alouette III A-247 flew from the military rest area

22-7:
Beuningen:
Alouette III A-275 overhead

23-7:
Nothing noted, apart from flying handkerchief PH-9J6, probably due to the appalling weather down the route...

24-7:
Cuijk:
Alouette III A-301 flew from the military rest area
E-3A LX-N90458 (not read by myself) flew low overhead twice rather spectacular, nice!

Nijmegen:
One of the overhead banner towing aircraft was L-18C PH-LRM, former belgian L57


Cheers,
Marco

ik zag vlak voor de E3 (kwam recht over me heen in beers trouwens, erg gaaf! 8) ) zag ik ook 2x 2 f16's overvleigen ergens in de buurt van beers. weet iemand welke 2 dit waren. ik weet zeker dat beide keren dezelfde f16's waren. en trouwens offtopic: ik ben helemaal kapot na de 200 km die ik afgelopen week gelopen heb! maar ik heb me kruisje wel binnen! :lol:

Hallo Allemaal
Nou ik ben ook kapot maar heb wel mooi het zilveren kruisje gehaald, dus volgend jaar weer. Gefeliciteerd aan allen die het gehaal hebben. Helaas heb ik van de week geen tijd gehad om dagelijks een verslag te doen want er stond een lange rij bij het internet tentje op Heumensoord. En heeft iemand nog de Chinook gelezen op de 24ste die laag over kwam met de loadmaster zwaaiend met een grote witte hand op de achterklep over de Via Gladiola? Ik was bijna bij de Chalamanje finish toen ie laag over kwam. verder klopt het zo'n beetje wat Marco genoteerd heeft en als aanvulling op de 22ste heb ik ook nog een Robinson R.44 gezien met een bordeau rode kleur maar helaas moest ik doorlopen van mijn Commandant.
