EHWO/Woensdrecht 22-11-2010 incl storage

[frank kramer]

Did a tour of Fokker Aircraft Services and Fokker Elmo with Onze Luchtmacht today; alas, taking pictures was not allowed, but perhaps a log will follow later (not enough time right now, so bear with me..)

We also saw some active RNLAF traffic during the day; perhaps someone can help me with the serials?

- Around 1030 lt, a Cougar from Gilze crossed the CTR from E to W
- later on, an Eindhoven KDC-10 made several approaches
- around 1430-1435 there was an Apache doing some very (s)low flying near the tower
- at 1455, a clean and freshly painted RNLAF F-16AM took off
- followed at 1500 by an SA316B which crossed the CTR from W to E

the cougar at 10h30lt was maybe Duke5 S-438 that visited Koksijde today

I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to disclose the registrations of the aircraft inside the hangars for fitting out, maintenance or repairs... just to be on the safe side, they were:

- 2 Norwegian AF F-16AM's
- 2 Dutch AF F-16AM's
- 2 Peruvian Navy Fokker 60's
- 1 Kenyan Fokker 70
(civil):

Thanks Wim and Luamax... much appreciated!

Can anyone tell if 'former' U-02 and U-04 Fokker-60 are already in full Peruvian Navy colours and are the allocated Peruvian registrations known ??
Thanks in advance.

[frank kramer]

a "yes" to both: currently still with a sticker with Dutch registration over the Peruvian one: U-02/AE-565, U-04/AE-566. According to posts made here, both were seen as such during November.

Thanks Frank !

Probably already asked 100 times, but...

Anyone for a departuredate of the Peruvian Fokker 60's?

MTIA!

Was planned for next week, but the odds of that happening are slim to none.

[jheijna]

Any dates known for testflights of the Peruvian F-60s ??

PS : No testflight today.

[Stratofreighter]

According to http://airnieuws.nl/fokkernieuws/FOKKER ... tlist.html testflights were to be conducted this Wednesday, not sure whether both "Peruvians" actually took off today...

[flying_kiwi]

The U-02 is due for a testflight tomorrow (ETD 1100LT), and the U-04 Thursday or Friday.

[jheijna]

Thank you very much !

[Wim]

Did the U-02 made a testflight today now?
