Title: <S> Prins Bernhard
Post by: BUG_EAF322 on December 11, 2004, 05:42:33 AM

96 years old he died last week.

Today was his funeral and our airforce did a flypass 3 F16 and one spitfire, the spitfire did the break.

That gave me a tear in the eye.

I really don't have much with the royals

But this guy was an airforce man and he did even some pathfinder sorties with the Mosquito over germany (where he was born).

He wasn't allowed but he did secretly.

He was always very close with the veterans.

He did alot for WNF

I liked this man.

and fly the skies

Sounds like he lived a good life!  If only we were all so lucky.

That's really cool that the Spit did the break.
