NF-5A KLu
Woensdrecht, 19 October 1988.
K-3045 shows some special markings. In 1988 the Dutch football team won the European championship. Obviously someone tried to 'cancel' the markings, but failed.
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 When the last Northrops were withdrawn from service in 1991, most of these went to Greece or Turkey.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-3045 was scrapped.
On this day in 1988 the base organized a photo opportunity for the jets.
