This week Twente Airport hosted Pink Skyvan OE-FDI for exercises with the Netherlands army.
On the 13th of May Night VFR missions were flown at Twente, where army Pathfinders guided the aircraft to the runway in the dark. I experimented a bit with the last light of the day and tried to capture the Night VFR
14 May saw missions flown over the Veluwe region.

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. |

Nice set, nice plane!
VFR after daylight time (19:35 UTC) is not allowed in NL, so it must have been IFR.
Dutch flying clubs go to Germany for nightime VFR.

That's not right. Night VFR is allowed as of 2020. Earlier this year the Vliegclub Twente already flew VFR at Night.
