PHOTOGRAPHIC IMPRESSION
Enjoy this photographic impression of a sad day for the German Organisation and also all participants because of the weather and cancellation in the late afternoon. Also a sad day for the Royal Dutch Navy that said good-bye to its former Orions. Never the less we wish the German Crews and Navy pleasant flights and many happy landings !!
