They also have an ambassadorial role, promoting an air force and country overseas. Many covered in this supplement display overseas each year and, in some cases, frequently undertake international tours. Teams are also used to promote a country’s aerospace industry, playing informal roles in sales campaigns.

  • 2007 Verslag VOC Gld Luchtmachtdagen
    Open dagen Koninklijke Luchtmacht 2007 op de luchtmachtbasis Volkel. De jaarlijkse Open Dagen van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht, die op vrijdag 15 en zaterdag 16 juni op de vliegbasis Volkel werden gehouden, zijn in totaal door maar liefst 240.000 bezoekers bezocht. Daarvan kwamen er op zaterdag alleen al 160.000 naar de Brabantse vliegbasis, die onder de naam "Ontdek wat de luchtmacht doet voor jouw veiligheid" jong en oud een blik in de keuken gunde. Vliegtuigen die duizelingwekkende loopings maken, loodrecht omhoog schieten en in wijde bochten weer naar beneden cirkelen om vervolgens met immense snelheid voorbij het publiek te denderen. Demonstratieteams die akelig nauwkeurig hun formaties vliegen. Helikopters die onmogelijk lijkende manoeuvres met schijnbaar achteloos gemak demonstreren. Als bezoeker kom je ogen en oren tekort om alles goed op te kunnen nemen. De Open dagen zijn 15 juni om acht uur van start gegaan. Ondanks een druilerige regen hadden de eerste liefhebbers zich al ver van tevoren bij de poort van Vliegbasis Volkel verzamelt. "Na tienen wordt het droog", wist een fanatieke Open Dagen bezoeker te melden. "Ik heb het net nog even gekeken op buienradar.nl", wist zijn goed geïnformeerde kennis te melden. Om klokslag negen uur steeg de eerste straaljager op voor zijn demoshow. Het was de Belgische F-16 solo display die de eer had de show te mogen openen. Voor de eerste keer was ook de Hawker Hunter te aanschouwen: De Hawker Hunter, een klassieke straaljager waarvan er in de jaren ´50 van de vorige eeuw ruim tweehonderd in dienst waren bij de luchtmacht. In Friesland heeft een club enthousiaste mensen onder de naam Dutch Hawker Hunter Foundation (DHHF) de handen ineen geslagen om dit stuk vliegende historie terug te halen naar Nederland.
