Where on wednesday I went to the east side, today I decided to go for west as it has a nicer background and 99% of the aircraft are sent to taxi up to the end.
Here's some of my favourites
The morning started with a nice one that I have not been able to catch up to now, one that (the older version) has been present also here in NRN during the military years, when it was still in operation at the German Marine.

19606 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrNow that the Czech Mi-24 and Mi-171 demo has stopped due to the Mi-24 being out of service, the W-3 now has a new dual demo to replace it, which was rehearsed on the thursday
0714 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrA lot of rehearsals today, also the Polish F-16. The grey weather didn't help
4061 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrThe Slovenians have a beautiful camo on their PC-9s as well
L9-69 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrAnother oldie that has visited NRN a lot of times in it's prime time (I even saw a video that D-HRRI, another ex german Huey was here last week)
SP-HSH by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrFinally some nice sunshine was coming through. The tailrotor on this Irish AW139 really stands out!
279 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrAnother newer model of one that might have even been based in Laarbruch back in the day
ZZ527 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrBesides some older stuff, there is also some space for brand new machinery, like this Hungarian H225M Caracal, which the Netherlands has purchased as well to replace the aging AS523 Cougars
74 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrThe Dutch are always well presented at RIAT, this year brining an NH-90, 2 Chinooks, an apache and 2 PC-7s!
N-234 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrAnother Merlin, but this time the Royal Navy version
ZH832 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrUnfortunately the Lithuanian helicopter this year didn't find NRN as it's fuel stop. I guess the AS365 has more range than the older Mi-8
42 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrFinally, this year is the last year for TEO and his F-16 demo. The F-16 will be retired out of the Danish air force by the end of the year, most will then be sent to Argentina, which has bought them (no longer Ukraine, which was the initial plan)
E-006 by Zonan Adolfse, on FlickrAs always, some more pictures will be found on my Flickr page and I will post the friday pictures soon as well
