Escorting the last airworthy Dakota in the Netherlands to her new home

When DDA Classic Airlines (the Dutch Dakota Association) ceased flights with its Dakota on 16 October, the decision was taken to pass the aircraft (Douglas DC-3 PH-PBA, 'Prinses Amalia') to the Aviodrome museum in Lelystad, and plans were put in place for her delivery flight, during which the Dakota was escorted by two Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) Lockheed-Martin F-35As, with a Pilatus PC-7 as photo-ship.
