April 2008
During the visit of the
Brazilian president to Holland three air force planes visited Rotterdam
Airport in the period from April 6 to April 11 2007.
First to arrive was a B737-200 followed by a other one and a Airbus 319.
The airbus looked nice but you can't beat the classic 737-200 for style
and sound.

Every now and Rotterdam airport has visitors from the United States
Forces. Mostly the well known type's of VIP transports. This day
there where two C-23 Sherpa from the Army possibly on route to Irak. In
the 80's C-23 from the US Air force where a common site in Europe. With
the transfer to the Army C-23 a rarity in Europe.
April 2007
AVRO Lancaster, PA474 of
the Battle of at Rotterdam airport April 2007
The reason for the Lancaster's visit was a flypast over the Manna
Memorial near Rotterdam Airport at 28 April. And flyby over several
city's on 29 April back before returning to the Uk. It is always nice to
hear those four Rolls Royce Merlin engines.
After major servicing at Air Atlantique in Coventry during the winter of
2006/07, PA474 wears the markings of EE139, the 'Phantom of the Ruhr', a
ton-up Lancaster that flew her first 30 ops on No 100 Squadron based at
Waltham before completing a further 91 ops on No 550 Squadron at North
Killingholme. She sports the letters HR-W of 'The Ton' on her port side
and BQ-B of 550 on her starboard, effectively commemorating the crews of
both Squadrons
