KLu T-33, Leeuwarden ca 1970

Freak
My late grandfather served as non-flying staff in the 322 Sqn. He did go for a supersonic ride in the TF-104 once, but always said that the T-33 was the most fun. It was an old jet that you could just fly around with freely, without the maintenance cost and associated approvals that the Starfighter required. A particular story he told me once is how a pilot asked him to come along for a flight to The Hague. The goal of the flight? Deliver a letter to the ministry.
That's why I'm dedicating this build to him, and gave the backseater a letter to hold. It is a nice coincidence that the pilot model in the back seat is a bit tall, as that matches his appearance.
