I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.

Nice addition Corné. Great angle on number four. I bet your three meter stepladder has something to do with it. 
Number seven has a potential bird hit.
So you and Maarten are brothers?

Wow, nice catch guys !
I hope to be back on my two feet again soon and catch some more choppers at the slopes myself. Not much longer for this beautiful photoshpot, I'm afraid. Word has it that the new slope (well out of reach of any camera) will become operational after week 8......
Any inside confirmation on this ?
Cheers,
Iwan

I don't have any inside information but I thought this slope was already in useIwan wrote:

. Also the ones at Deelen are being used often when heli's from the DHC are detached to Deelen. ... but stil with some luck you are be able to catch some heli's at the slopes on the south side of the airbase. Better now-a-days is the 28 spot. With western winds you are be able to shoot nice landing shots of visiting aircraft.
Hope this gives you a bit of the information you are searchinf for?
Grtz,
Edward.
