Gilze Rijen, 26 June 1980.
NF-5A K-3010 is taxiing to the short runway at Gilze Rijen. The main runway was in maintenance.
K-3010 crashed on 1 October near Venlo when the pilot was circling his parents' house. He lost control and went down with his jet.
This is one of my earliest photos. I started taking slides in 1981.

Woensdrecht, 19 October 1988.
K-3048 of 316 squadron showing its guns. This Freedom Fighter was sold to Turkey, updated to NF-5A-2000 and is now in use with the Turkish Stars. I saw it for the last time 25 years later at Kecskemet in 2013.
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 When the last Northrops were withdrawn from service in 1991, most of these went to Greece or Turkey.
On this day in 1988 the base organized a photo opportunity for the jets.
