That's how a lot of 'UFO' pictures can be explained. But real believers are hard to convince.

What a lot of flights by the G-275 in Holland the last week. You see him everywhere daily... Is that normal???
In my opinion, we need more C1-30's, like the Belgiums!

We have two but the other one (G-273) is out for painting. The RNLAF has ordered 2 more so in a while we'll have 4

I love the climbout photo! Thanks for the pictures, I was at school and had two hours of nothing to do between classes, but when I read the expectation I was to late to make it to SSB on time.

Still strange that it says US Air Force F-16A under the canopy. Is this an old picture? Do we have any F-16AM's that used to be USAF F-16As?

Anyone know what the S-459 was doing at Schiphol? To my knowledge it's not common that a Cougar comes to EHAM

Nice pictures!
I am shocked to see that we (the Netherlands) don't have our F35 yet but a museum does! (joke)

The angle of the front plane isn't an indication that he is being pushed down. Upside-down flight means extra nose down (in upside-down that's nose up :P) attitude because the wings are asymmetrical (top and bottom). They are shaped to cause optimum lift when the top side is up. However it really lo...

Both great news, but will the Mirage perform only on the 20th, and the F18 only on the 21st? Would love to see them both, maybe I'll have to go both days then

If I recall correctly the F16's in Zulu are part of PAF (Project Afstoting F-16) and are waiting for a deal with Jordan
