This very small area in between trees and hills, situated at the northern part of Beekhuizerzand, is used by Cougar crews only. The Chinook is to large to fit..
And another Dutch Chinook off my list. To date, 13 of the 15 examples stationed in the Netherlands have visited Beekhuizerzand, only the 2 newest ones are still to go.
After a little more than 6 months with only limited flying activity, most of the time in the evening, finally some daylight action at my favorite place.
With almost no rain in the last few weeks this area is like a desert. Upon touchdown I had to take cover to protect myself and my equipment for the small fine sand storm created by the downwash.
