On the 16th and 17th of June the Dutch Air Force had their mayor openhouse at Leeuwarden Air Force base. A very unique visitor at the show was the US Navy Display team the Blue Angels, they flew in from the States specially for the Dutch show. The last European visit was in 1992. So this was a very welcome Display item. I heard that the Blues were coming in November 2005 and as lucky as I'm I know the Blue Angels manager and the complete Red Arrow team. So I started to email the two teams and spoke about a formation together and both were happy to do this. (great thanks to both teams)
The air to air shots from that formation you will see exclusive only on this Sky-Flash.com site.
The show was on two days, the Friday was with very poor weather and on Saturday it was sunny and warm. The show was very good organized by the Dutch AF. A special thanks must go to Mr E.d.Bruijn who did (together with a KLU team) a superb job to get all the Teams to Leeuwarden.
