Maybe as a bonus or surprise for "us spotters"?

[Withnail]

what could be an interesting discussion is why this is organised for the media and not for us spotters? apart from aviation magazines, the media don't give a bollocks about military aviation (apart from the fact that they're more or less left and against the military).

Thats simple,

The spotting conditions at the dutch airfields are quite good so you can take your shots at those places.

Just wondering; have you even considered any measures the KLu could take to better present themselves to the 'more or less left' media? Such as giving them the opportunity to talk to participating crew or film the aircraft up close?

Rings a bell maybe? Think before you post.

and how about aviation media (like Flight, AFM, Air Int'l Piloot en Vliegtuig etc), military media (Jane's), national military media from participating countries (Defensiekrant, De Vliegende Hollander and likewise), local media that are an informationtool for people affected by the noise etc.....????



and for sure yesterday's pressgroup never came anywhere near those aircraft, maybe they were put there as background for taking groupphotos?

I was there and at Wittmund too, luckily at both airfields BEFORE the ash came in
