The arrival of the first 2 F-35s for the Dutch Air Force, so they can begin test flights here. 35 more have been ordered to begin replacing the F-16s in service. Should be here in 2019 at a cost of nearly 5 billion bananas. Which of course not everyone is happy about.

Noise over residential areas will be part of the testing process. Fighter jets overhead is a common sound here. Never see the damn things though.

One of the F-35s will be doing a aerial tour flight around the country today. Height of 1200 feet.

Was supposed to happen last week but was too cloudy.

F-35 at 1200ft! That puts the issue of runway noise in the shade!
