The 2003 Klu Open Days were held at Twente Air Base 20 / 21 June 2003. This was the last airshow at Twente, before the base flying operation were closed in 2005. The static offered some great visitors, four Canadian CF-188s, Turkish NF-5s and Hungarian MiG-29. The Airpower demo, Austrian J-35O were amongst the highlights of the air show.
Weather was great when we visited the show on Friday 20th. Due to the layout of Twente the sun was in front of the static in the morning. Not a big problem as some parts of the static could be watched from two sides.
During the airshow one of the Team Orlik PZL-130 suffered a landing mishap when it went off the runway into the grass. The fire department checked out the aircraft and the show could continue without much delay.

Q-283, F-86
F-86K Q-283 was a gate guard at Twente Air Base. After the base closed it was moved to the new National Military Museum (NMM) in Soesterberg, where it can be found on the same pole in the outside exhibition between the main hall and the maintenance shed.
