In the latest edition of the 'de Vliegende Hollander' (monthly magazine of the RNLAF) is an article about the two 'new' C130's. They should be operational about autumn 2008. After that de two present C130-H30's will get an cockpit upgrade. The whole project should be finished juli 2009.
If I'm right the USAF F-16's didn't come. There were put in the hold because of the landing of the participants of the high camao (?) and the VC10. Likely they couldn't bring up the patience because they decide to go home.
Are the AWACS flying their normal operation flights during the open days?
Because I guess they are flying every day. Please correct me if I'm wrong. And if yes are they flying from their homebase or maybe from another base due to the activities on those days?
A little bit off topic, but can somebody tell me where the mirrorsystem on the nose of this Swiss Cougar is being used for?
I can´t remember I saw this before.
