Gilze-Rijen 04-10-2016

Post by FalconFlare » Wed Oct 05, 2016 4:45 pm

Yesterday I visited Gilze-Rijen AB with a friend. We went there hoping to catch some helicopters on the slopes. Sadly no chopper practised on the slopes but we got something nice in return, 2 German NH-90 TTH's and 2 German Tigers are temporarily based (although the tigers only stay there during the day for refueling and leave back to their homebase at the end of the day, each day and fly back the following day) there to participate in an exercise. Weather didn't really cooperate, it was mostly cloudy.
Here are a few pics I took yesterday:
