The
end of the
Lynx era,
never to be forgotten
!!
|
![](/2012/01-AERONAUTICA/Lynx/Arco%20de%20Heer%20(2).jpg) |
And
such a pleasure to fly this machine, pilots love it's
maneuverability and steadiness |

The
goodbye flight was accompanied halfway by two Harvards of the SKHV
(historical flight, picture AVDD) |

This
must be unique to experience such a flight along the Dutch coast |

Two
DHC Lynx machines flew the 'last flight'. |

special ceremonial flag, designed for the work and crews that saved
so many lives and flew so many (rescue) missions |

Some
missions such as fighting piracy were next to very succesful a
direct hit at YouTube ! |

Hold
her steady, while fast-roping special forces go down ! (exercise) |
![](/2012/01-AERONAUTICA/Lynx/jvdloo-1.jpg) |
In
real ofcourse there is armament, which can and will be used if
neccessary ! |
|
Special
foreces can also be transported out fast out of area, not
neccessarily inside the helicopter. R: Pirate boats |

Another
situation of checking out and inspection within international
agreements by the way ... |
![](/2012/01-AERONAUTICA/Lynx/PenV04.jpg) |
Though...
the Lynx will be indeed no more than a single shadow soon, but
remain in the minds of so many ! |

Landing
on the quarter-deck of the 'Evertsen' |

The
Lynx was in service since 1977, very valuable for the 'Marine' and
later cruising for DHC (do read article below) |
![](/2012/01-AERONAUTICA/Lynx/PenV206.jpg) |
So
close to the ship requires upper concentration of the pilots |

Some
views of operational action... |

Though
time took it's toll, and the Lynx frames are up to the moment of
getting their rest |

So...
a last patrol along the 'sandy beaches' of the Dutch coastline ! |

in his eyes,
as he
explained 'because
of the wind'
