The fenceline was nicely set up and rather close to the runway. In the distance even some bleu spots could be seen in the main grey cloudbase. Unfortunelately the weather stayed cold and grey all day long. So no sunny shots on this day.. First aircraft to take off were a pair of Hunters wich did their show. This was followed by a whole range of aircraft including an tactical demo of a C-130J, an demo of a dutch Chinook, F-16, PC-7. But the airshow organisation had pinned all their hopes on the demonstration teams... After seeing the Patrouile The France, Red Arrows, Patrouille de Suisse, Asas the Portugal it became very boring to see all the teams. The Spanish F/A-18 demo was a welcome solo display and did a great job.
The highlight of the show were the US Navy demonstration team "The Bleu Angels" and their support aircraft, The C-130 ''Fat Albert''. The C-130 took off first with an amazingly low take off and a great show with an even more impressive short landing! After the demo of Fat Albert the Dutch Air traffic contollers handed over the controls to the Bleu Angels and they were up for their display. The Bleu Angels lined up and took off. On take off, Angel 6 blew a tire and returned to the base for a precautionary landing. The numer 6 landed on RWY06 with an arrested landing. All went well and the pilot was rushed to the spare aircraft and the show went on.
Were are the good old days??
