    The PAC is, together with the FIO in Madrid (where I go to this coming weekend) a major operator of a fleet of historic aircraft, ranging from some small Buckers to a former SPAF T34 Mentor and a Super Saeta jettrainer. I am a member of both FIO and PAC, and the PAc normally has some aircraft flying on both saturdays and sundays at Sabadell, a nice airfield near barcelona easy to be reached by train (exit at the first, small,Sabadell station ( you can see the field at the leftside of the train while entering the station) and from there it is a 20 minute walk. B4est vantage point will be out of the aeroclub restaurant/terrace. Taking pics is no problem. There is also a preserved SPAf F4 and another Saeta. Go there in the morning, between 10 and 14.00 hrs. Apart from the PAC, there are some very nice tankers/helicopters based here in the fire season. I can give you a contact name for the PAC if you want, if so PM me, or phone me as I think we both are from Holland.

    The PAC at Sabadell is of interest. You’re there during a weekend?

    Hi Chris,

    There are 2 in the ROC of Amsterdam Airport, and another one at the VTOC at Schiphol-Oost in the former Fokker plant. Saw them 2 months ago. Apart from these, there are many more Streaks in Holland to be encountered.THe topic on the school was deleted I think.

    For me Weisskopf (his real German name), which translate as Whitehead in English, was the first. But he was a poor German immigrant and not American, like the “brothers” were.Unfortunatly, he had many witnesses,and there are printed proof in the 1901 media, but no photo, while the Wrights had a pic. So the Wrights got famous, and he got forgotten. Happy end of the story is that the replica of his machine flies, while the replica of the Wright machine……

    As late as 1974/75, the Dutch Navy used their last surviving Grumman Avenger at the Valkenburg NAS fire dump. To make things worse, they didn’t preserve any TBM in Holland. Can’t think not a single Dutch museum was interested in 75. BW Roger
