'Tante Ju' arrived at Lelystad airport on Friday 5 September on a flight from Cologne. It arrived with paying passengers who were transported earlier to Cologne by bus. Same day one 45 minutes flight was made over the Flevoland province, where I live. Unfortunately it did not fly over my house at Almere-Buiten.
Yesterday, 6 October, the plane made another two pleasure flights over the Flevoland area. At the end of the afternoon it flew back to Cologne, again with paying passengers who were also transported back by bus.
The event was organized by the Aviodrome museum to give some 'galore' during the Dakota fly-in of this weekend. To be honest, there only was one Dakota during this event, although a B-26, B-25, Beech D18S, a Harvard and a Beaver were also present. We had to compete with the Duxford airshow and we lost since all Dakotas originally scheduled flew to the UK. So, the Ju was a very welcome addition to our weekend!
Since I work 2 days a week at the museum's 2nd-hand bookshop, I was offered the flight for a reduced rate.
Normal price for the trips was EURO 189.
