      Dutch Aviation MEDIA 2012     

SPECIAL EDITION !
LYNX CREWS SHOW THEIR OWN BEST PICTURES HERE !
We're very happy to say that Lynx pilots and crewmembers participated in this article with their own material !

Last... last... last...     at last !
Last time you pass your checklist by departing...
Last time you land on the concrete of Den helder 'De Kooij' Naval Airbase...
Last flight...
And ofcourse the memories, such as here on full sea, departing from the 'Hr.Ms. Rotterdam' 
Last goodbye, supported by 'fellow types' as this Chinook from DHC Gilze Rijen
Last time you gather your stuff out of the helicopter...
Last time you can pose for a picture for memory... Pilots James Lorraine and Christian Cocheret.
    
Last walk to from Lynx to building, last sharing memories amongst eachother...
This was it ! Representing the crews on the fuselage, the Pink-Pirate badge, Acta est Fabula ! (The game is over)
   
Once more: All the names of the last crews and teams.
 
Acta est Fabula....  Quid miseret !
No more checks, no more foreign operations and missions, Lynx had it's last ones. 
Rigged with double checkered flag and a picture of the figures of all 'The Lynx Flight Units' of all these years.
Are we sad ? Yes, a bit... but Lynx lands, and NH-90 is ready to start a new era ! It's the way it works !
Soon this machine will be recognized by everyone as the 'new Lynx', modern avionics and equipment.
For the Lynx the curtain falls, the sun dissapears behind the horizon.
