Exposition
HANGAR-7 |
|
The
passengers interior of this beauty normally remains 'secret' only
for VIP's. For this one occasion Dutch Aviation Support was granted
to show these two interior pictures. |
|
|
|
The
cockpit, classic model |
|
No
digital displays |
|
Inside,
outside, even the wheel hatches, it's all shining and proper ! |
|
|
|
A
look at the engines, what a sight to see them starting up ! |
|
|
|
4
Pratt & Whitney R2800CB-3 take this lady in the air ! |
|
Here
she flies, accompanied by an Alpha Jets out of the 'Flying Bull's
collection |
|
|
|
The
beautifull building of glass and steel, the hangars in the shape of
a wing |
|
|
|
A
mighty view inside, exposed airplanes and helicopters of all kind
all over the place |
|
|
|
A
conversationroom high under the top shows you all beneath it like
this shining helicopter |
|
|
|
Perhaps
we can report again, about this waterplane, or the logistics
outside... |
|
|
|
The
Flying Bulls have a fleet of four hardly ever seen Alpha jets in the
collection |
|
|
|
We
hope to report about them in future !! |
