After being inside the hangar for more than a year, the new Government plane of the Netherlands made his first testflights last week. Yesterday, April 2, he made his second one. After a heavy thunderstorm he finally landed.

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Oh well, thanks much for putting up your pics, showing her as she is now.

First time I see it, so thanks for the pictures. The tail looks huge on the first photo. I don’t know yet what to think of the colour scheme. The Fokker had a more pleasant livery in my opinion.

Agree with the comments about the colours, it looks much like any other business jet now. Can't they paint a huge lion on the tail or something...?
Greetz,

Don't like it!
Polder c/s
Grey white blue and we need some red and some orange.
Seems that after the wing they forget to create anything. Just white and (dark) blue.
Big empty tail.
Do like titles is the right (national) font.
If they ( who is that, one of the princesses?) wanted to come up with a Dutch twitch to the colour scheme they could have done much better. I guess.
Very disappointing.
Pieter.
P.s still need to see it of course ...
