They are parked outside every day and all the time.

U-05 is parked on the main apron, which you can photograph the best at this spot:

U-06 is parked at the end of the field, which you can photograph the best from this spot:

I hope this helps you.

I know and the answer is: no. There are no floodlights on at Lelystad like they are at Schiphol for instance. What is possible however is lighting U-05 with your car's headlights, since it's parked so close to the fence. With a tripod you might get a decent shot.

U-06 is in the corner of the field, with no lights around it and farther away from the fence.
