On Friday, most of the Valk ships participating in the festivities arrived. At 5pm we had a 'steigerborrel', literally 'drinks on the jetty'.
Today we first went to the DNW, an institute that runs a big wind tunnel where clients (mainly the aerospace industry) can have models of their products tested.
Their main claim to fame is that all Airbus models have been and are tested there, but also other civilian and military aircraft including the JSF.
Especially for technically minded people, it was very interesting to see this enormous installation.
In the afternoon, we went to the 'Orchideeenhoeve', where they cultivate and display orchids. Other tropical flora and fauna (butterflies, birds, carp) are also on display:
Tonight, we'll have the dinner and tomorrow still a breakfast.
