A lovely line-up of classics in the T2 hangar. The Starfighter first flew in March 1963 and was operated by the Royal Netherlands Air Force as D-8061. The other jet is the PH-XIV, the first built/prototype Fokker S.14 Machtrainer. It was used by the NLR between 1961 and 1966. The background eyecatcher is the PH-DDZ, which has been grounded for a while now. She gave an engine to the PH-PBA to keep her flying, but there now is a good working one available for the -DDZ again. The 2-seater in the foreground is a replica Fokker D.VII, although the engine in front is an original one.
