| It is starting to become an annual happening, the spottersday at Gilze-Rijen air base. The organisation was in the capable hands of both the air base and the Gilze-Rijen |
| Aviation Society. Thanks to the excellent contacts the latter has with several squadrons from different nations, the spotters that were lucky enough to be in attendance of the event, |
| either on the air base or outside the fence, had a great day with good photo opportunities. This year’s edition was on (29 August). The following aircraft were noted, either on the |
| ground or during a low pass over the air base. Thanks to Gijs ten Velde, Ronny Jansen and the contributors to the Scramble Messageboard. |
