Dutch retire KDC-10 T-264
Dutch retire KDC-10 T-264
While all the media attention went to the delivery of the first F-35A Lightning II last week the Royal Netherlands Air Force retired one of their two KDC-10's in silence. Last Friday, on November the 1st, T-264 flew her last mission. She has been sold to Omega Air in the US and will leave Eindhoven Air Base next week. The other KDC-10, registration T-235, will fly on till somewhere in 2021. Her T-264 performs a touch and go on Gilze Rijen Air Base during the winter of 2009.

Lovely pic of a faithful KLu servant. Unfortunately that's always the way. The shiny new toys get all the attention while the tired old ones are binned. At least this is more photogenic than a Lightning II.
