Dutch National Military Museum: Fokker 27 and Breguet Atlantic

Image
Last winter in December, Dutchman and I visited the newly opened National Military Museum  of the Netherlands located in Soesterberg Airbase, Utrecht. It was a very cold, snowy and nostalgic day. It was snowing non-stop the whole day. The museum however was an amazing experience and many of the pieces brought us back in time. Now, not surprisingly, I took a gazillion pictures, so having said that, I first did not know where to start. As you can see, it took me 7 months to get this first post out! I may have to do a series of blog posts for this museum as I want to show you most of the pictures I took on the blog. Nevertheless, I will start posting the pictures I took outside the building. The beautiful high-tech modern museum is stunningly built in glass. It is a beauty to behold. I also posed with the Fokker 27 (F27), an old retired cargo plane of the Dutch Royal Air Force. Strangely enough, I kind of miss winter. Thanks to the Dutchman for helping me ID these planes....

Me, Myself and My Uzi

We just had our first snowfall here in the Netherlands! I don’t think the snow will last long though as it’s all slushy right now. Anyway, Dutchman and I went to the newly opened National Military Museum in Soesterberg Airbase today. We both took a whopping 126 pictures!!! If there is a contest on how many pictures you can shoot in a minute, I sure need to enlist. Now this means I need time to get my pictures ready. So for now let me show you my new uzi. Don’t I look good with it? =) *this thing is sure heavy* For a quick tour of the museum click here: National Military Museum Tour . This museum just opened 2 weeks ago.
