Runway 28; Gilze-Rijen, 2011
Gilze-Rijen Air Base in 2011; Text and Photograph's by Alex van Noye
The head of the runway 28 at Gilze-Rijen remains one of the most spectacular places in the Netherlands for
aircraft spotting. This spot is ideal especially for photography of the departing Apaches of the no 301
Squadron. It is the most beautiful spot with wind from Eastern direction. The helicopter will fly at a very
low altitude during departure. I’ve made a few beautiful sunset shots of the Apache helicopters at the start
of the year 2011. The transport helicopters often come to the head of the runway 28 to pick up their sling
loads from the grass strip. This results in helicopters hovering low over the grass. The results are especially
in the morning hours good.
