Hello,

Nice day at Leeuwarden yesterday with two Sea Kings for a fuel stop enroute to Koksijde for the last flight of the Belgian Sea King next Thursday.

1. 89+70 from MFG 5

2. At the same time an Apache arrived at runway 09.

4. And the arrival of the Norwegian Sea King just before 3 pm.

5. Because of a calibration plane the Sea King went take-off from runway 05 which was a nice surprise.

6. And to end the day NAF21 arrived with a tactical approach.

Nice set. Sad to hear of another air arm retiring the Sea King. She's been a good and faithful servant and saved countless lives.
