KLu & BAF

In this Album we show you pictures of aircraft that are or were in service with the Dutch (K.LU., MLD) or Belgian forces (BAF) .
Not all types that ever were in service of course – because that would be too far fetched – , but only THOSE TYPES THAT WE – THE AUTHORS OF THIS WEBSITE – HAVE SEEN IN OPERATIONAL SERVICE FREQUENTLY.
The KLu and BAF (R)F-84F Thunderstreaks and Thunderflashes are not included here , but appear elsewhere on the site.
