SOME LAST STATIC AND SHOW ACTIVITIESi

MB-339, the workhorse of the Italian 'Frecce Tricolore'.
These guys really do have a tremendous show !!.
One of the Icons of the Cold War period: A MIG-15 , a real treat for the eye these Open Days !
Mig-15, de tegenhanger van de F-86 Sabre. De Mig-15 (Fagot) is nog in service in China als trainer.
Historical fly-past: Mitchell B-25 with the 'third type' that won the war over England, the Spitfire.
No show without the 'Damn Yankee' P-51 Mustang.
Patrouille de Suisse demonstration team, not quite a 100 % this shown exercise....
Pilatus PC-7 trainer from the Austrian Airforce.
Lined up parking of the various fighters.
Learjet-36A N116MA from Skyline Eelde Airfield
.After a heavy shower the sweeper unit cleaned the taxiway. 
The F-16 team gahthered for a new demo-flight.... 
... and the famous UK 'Red Arrows' started their show with the colors of the Dutch flag.
These guys reaaly fly the perfect show....
.....  come to think of it, I wonder and cannot decide .....
..... weather either the Red Arrows or the Frecce Tricolore fly the 'most perfect' show.
This team really needs a fine blue sky to fly their ultimate figures.
.....  and at the end of the show....
..... the BOMB-BURST !
Trainer of the 'Rijks Luchtvaart School'.
Saab Safir.
Another Saab Icon: The Saab-105 .
Also a trainer aircraft, here from the Swedish Airforce....
...... Sweden also participated with this Viggen.....
..... landing here after a well appreciated show.
The French Rafale.
Flying outside the atmosphere, perhaps too expensive yet ?.
Two Sukhoi-22 'Fitters' from the Polish Airforce.
Commander Gerhard Roubal's F-4 Phantom. One of it's last flights (see our article Goodbye Phantom Fuerza Spain)
The NH-90, the sucsessor of the Cougar will dominate the future. Flying already, not intergrated the full 100% yet.
Due to so many madifications for the several countries the deliveries gave a delay. Reason to re-activate the Cougar.
Well that's about it folks, we stop with the most probable choice of the Dutch Airforce, the Joint Strike Fighter..
The Dutch decided to get along with the JSF project for several reasons. 
So in the near future this machine will defend The Netherlands, it's space and land and also international values !
