::: Probably the biggest achievement was the fact the RNLAF managed to get the Blue Angels to come to Europe for the Dutch only ! A full display included the famous JATO assisted take off of the C-130T support plane 'Fat Albert'. This could very well be one of the last JATO take offs, as the JATO rockets are almost out of stock and are not being produces anymore. ::: The Blues gave a real American type of demonstration, including their well known patriotic commentary and the almost absurd ground performances of both air- and ground crew. Highlights were the close formations, of six and four Hornets, as well as a very close mirror formation. ::: The only grape was the layout of a part of the static (just have to complain about something...) But in general the Dutch Air Force had put together a great event again! |
