NF-5A KLu

Woensdrecht, 19 October 1988.

 

K-3043 was one of the last in the original camouflage. On the tail it has the 'VUD' emblem (Vervroegde Uit Dienststelling, early retirement).

 

After retirement many Dutch NF-5's were flown to Woensdrecht airbase and put in storage. When the last Northrops were withdrawn from service in 1991, most of these went to Greece or Turkey. K-3043 stayed in the Netherlands and was dumped.

 

On this day in 1988 the base organized a photo opportunity for the jets.
