A 1976 built Bolkow at the cross servicing platform of Gilze Rijen. The pilot clearly shows the Grasshoppers (299sq) helmet, the squadron that owned the Dutch fleet of Bo105s. From mid-2000, this Bo105 was modified to CB-4 standard. 299sq was disbanded as a Bo105 squadron on 13 January 2003 and became 931sq. B-76 went into storage from that date and was eventually sold to Star Air Service at the Dutch teuge airport. The helicopter became D-HLAD at the German base Neuhausen ob Eck on 29 August 2007.
