Re: Unknown tail rotor Osama compound

Indeed a bit painful (utter embaressment if you will) that they lost it in a foreign country, (way worse than an ancient RNLN lynx recently in Lybia). .[/quote] At least they got Osama Bin Laden in return for the helicopter, We just lost an ancient lynx because some fruitcake thought it would be wis...

Re: Kleine Brogel EBBL - 04-05-2011

The Dutch are wimps, "watjes", and the Klu is listening to them... I do not agree with you on that. A sonic boom gives social commotion. People hear a sound ("explosion") which people don't recognise. Sometimes windows even break. So I don't think that these people are wimps, they just react normal...

Als de keuze al gemaakt is, dan had Hillen dat gewoon moeten zeggen i.p.v honderden mensen aan het lijntje houden. "informatie is motivatie".

Re: De Kooy Moet blijven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heren, Als we het jaren '30 verhaal even met rust laten en ons beperken tot de hedendaagse realiteit dan zien we dat defensie letterlijk uit alle hoeken en gaten muntjes moet schrapen om nog iets overeind te houden. De kooy is een militair veld met civiel medegebruik ( dit is op papier ) de praktijk...

Re: PIC: Netjets Hawker 800 does nosegear-up landing at Vnukovo

Respect for the pilots, It looks like a very succesfull landing. The report on aviation safety net says minor damage to the aircraft. Perhaps the snow on the runway contributed to the outcome of the landing ( less friction = less damage I think.) Real trick to keep the aircraft in this position duri...

Re: Opnieuw vreemde Kustwachtmelding

Op www.p2000.nl wordt er bij vermeld testcode trainingen, ik denk dat het dus een alarmering t.b.v training is. Zojuist wel een AB-412 van de SAR gezien bij de kooy. Deze kan dus best bij de training betrokken zijn.

Re: Lifeliner 2 voorzorgslanding ?

Lijkt me sterk dat een testmelding met urgentie hoog wordt verzonden. Ik heb het idee dat het een ander vliegtuig betreft die een birdhit heeft gemeld en dat daarom de ll2 en of het mmt opgepiept worden.

Just my two cents.

Re: All white dauphin at de Kooy today.

Thanks Hans,

Do you happen to know if NHV is still based at the kooy? Reason for my question is that i haven't seen them for some time before today.

All white dauphin at de Kooy today.

Hello,

Today i saw an all white dauphin approaching the kooy from the west and after landing it departed to the south.
Anyone for the numbers? and perhaps a reason for the visit?

Re: Den Helder Airport/De Kooij 9406-04-1985 The end of an era

I flew in in a few times, the last time was 24-12-2010. Memorable flight, i will miss it for it's appearance and for the ability to lift 19 crew. It was a major contribution to many people travelling offshore. I was hoping it would be replaced by a s-92, but it will be replaced by two s-76 instead. ...

Re: Vliegerinfo dagen 21&22 okt. 2010

Bedankt Johan,

Vandaag was ik er tussen 12.00 en 13.00 en heb beide demo's kunnen zien. ( Ik ben blij dat ik heb besloten de F-16's niet af te wachten.)
De demo van de apache vond ik tegenvallen, was erg kort. Was er soms een technisch probleem of hadden ze te veel last van de wind.

Groeten,
Peter
