Volkel Air Base (The Netherlands) Air Force Days static display 2013-06-14
Hello everybody!
This weekend were the Dutch Air Force Days, held at Volkel Air Base in the South of The Netherlands. I was there on Friday and like to show you some pictures taken there. I will be opening two threads, as I've shot a lot... So, here part 1; the static show.
1. A lot of F-16s were present. Here's one from Portugal:

2. Beautifully restored is this F-104 from the Royal Netherlands Air Force. She looks like she's able to fly away within minutes. Too bad she can't.
