Runway 28; Gilze-Rijen, 2007

Gilze-Rijen Air Base in 2007; Text and Photograph's by Alex van Noye

Also in the year 2007 I made just like in 2006 many hours at Gilze-Rijen Air Base. Gilze-Rijen is still a very quiet base and not much happened in the year 2007. In September there were a number of Jordanian Air Force Hercules Aircraft present at Gilze-Rijen. These aircraft were here to pick up the Royal Jordanian Falcons after their airshow season. These aircraft were very special to me, because I never had the chance to capture them before. The year 2007 was not a special year with many movements. It were mainly the helicopters which were active at this base. The helicopters from Soesterberg will arrive next year. Hopefully we see more action at this base next year.
