The annual commemoration of Operation Market Garden took place in Brabant and Gelderland on Saturday, September 20th. Various transport aircraft of various units from Europe and the United States fly several dropping missions from Eindhoven Air Base. For this occasion the platform was this year completely filled with aircraft from the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland. A large part of the droppings was unfortunately canceled due to bad visibility. Due to the poor visibility crews had no visibility on the drop zone. The only planes which have dropped during this mission were the four ANG Hercules aircraft from the United States.
