We had a great time, we appreciate it very much that we as the local Aviation Society were so much involved in the event.

We were asked about our vision in parking the aircraft and fencing the aircraft, and to be honest, who knows these things best?? The spotters/photographers of course!

From my vision there were some good points and some points that still need attention.

First of all I must say that we had noumerous emails in our mailbox from (mainly) dutch aircraft spotters/photographers, all giving credit in how the static was placed. Most complaints came about the german tiger bo105 that was not to be photographed at all, because the pilots decided to let the 'normal' public look up close. But as crew you have to make a choice, are you leting the photographer do their jobs, or are you giving the local public a chance to get up close. The bo105 crew chose for the last.
This issue will alway be a point of discussion, an as organisation you cannot do it right...

The traffic flow was magnificant this year!! On the ground as well as in the air!!!!!

I think on a following event there needs to be more advertising in the local newspapers. In northern limburg only few people knew what was going on at Weeze Airport...

Next year??? Well, hopefully there will be an event again.... Maybe small one, and then in 2007 the big one......

We as Niederrhein Aviation Society were sadly confrontated by sickness of one of our members (Copter) he could only make it to NRN on sunday. But nevertheless it was a great event! One for the books!!

Big thanks to the organisation!

Dann waren die Spotter zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort. Wir haben die Bo oft genug zum "Schuss freigegeben"

Und am Tornado hat die Crew das einfach so gelöst, daß, wenn einige Spotter da waren, wir die Treppe abgerückt haben, die Leute ihre Bilder machen konnten und wir dannach die Treppe wieder drangeschoben haben... so hatte das "interssierte Publikum" genauso die Möglichkeit an den Flieger zu kommen wie die Spotter...

We as Niederrhein Aviation Society were sadly confrontated by sickness of one of our members (Copter) he could only make it to NRN on sunday.

I was there shortly at friday evening and saturday afternoon. At sunday I wasn't (that) sick anymore and came all day. I had a great time.

Indeed the helicopter static was not that good for photographers. I heard some nice reactions from spotters about the positions of for instance the Hawk and Jaguar. Also the "spotters-hill" on top of the amunition-shelter was great !

The public relations wasn't good this year (just like last year) in The Netherlands (this is just my opinion ). We (Vortex and me) hanged up some posters at several Dutch locations. In the local and regional media allmost no attention for the airshow.

Greetings,
