 |
 |
|
| The Dutch Open Days are always well visited, many people make it a 'nice day off' with their family | ||
 |
 |
|
| They have a look in the new JSF (mock-up) and get themselves a first coffe or coke ! | ||
 |
||
| Some adults are child for a while, and some childs are the 'Big Hero' for a moment.... | ||
 |
||
| Security comes first (!) at the Dutch Open Days, it's always a very relaxed happening ! | ||
 |
 |
|
| Many oldtimers are flown by their owners as these Texan Harvard and Fokker Instructor S-11 | ||

| SKHV proudly presents this Beech 18, powered by 2x Pratt & Whitney R-985-AN-14B | ||

| And continuously demonstrating planes, here a Belgian Airforce Sea King and a Dutch Beaver | ||

| Beware !! It's not only oldtimers, 'Here come the F-16AM', base attack !!! | ||
 |
||
| Suddenly surprising the public, 'attacking' the base with 'serious bombs' !! | ||
 |
 |
|
| Wow, isn't that something, but soon people relax again and keep on with what they were doing... | ||
 |
