Royal Netherlands Air Force 100th Anniversary - Part I

 
For the celebration of the Royal Netherlands Air Force 100th Anniversary a awesome airshow was held at Volkel airbase. It was one of the best airshows i have ever attended and i must take my hat to all those involved in the organization.


German Mcdonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II (37+51 "First In, Last Out") arrived at Volkel on the first day of the airshow, performing several low passes. Farewell dear Phantom, you will be missed.
