The Fuerza Aérea Dominicana once operated with eight Cessna OA-37Bs Dragonflies. Through the years, three were written off (3704, 05 and 06). All Dragonflies were retired in the early zeros after serving Escuadron de Combate only from Aug 97 onwards. After retirement, two were earmarked for sale to Colombia but were probably never transferred. In Nov 11, five OA-37Bs were seen in storage (3701, 02, 03, 07 and 08) while the sixth one (3705) was seen preserved at the main gate. Number seven (3704) was seen at the dump at San Isidro, while the eighth Dragonfly was totally destroyed in a crash.

White-out conditions nearby a landing Dutch Chinook during a Snow Blaze exercise in Norway. The H-47 out of Rygge air base and flew to nearby forest areas for white-out condition training. The downforce nearby the Chinook is overpowering and enclosing typhoon force. Pilots and loadmasters train this to get used to less sight landings. As snow landings are a little less dangerous then landings in the sand, the next step in training is the Hot Blaze exercise, in which brown-out conditions are trained. Visibility in sand dust is near to none as remains for a longer period in the air.

Ski-equipped D-664 ready for take-off, while Dutch military hold eachother tight and covering at the same time some luggage to prevent it will blow away. This D-664 flew once as 147006 with the Royal Canadian Air Force and was one of six former RCAF Chinooks that was purchased by the Netherlands.

Former test serial ZJ163 was delivered by Westland most probably on 16 October 1996. The relatively new helicopter was assigned to 330 Skv during its active operational career and was eventually stored at Kjeller in September 2019.
