Even though I lived where I live today for all my life, I never visited the Terlet Glider field before. I passed by it plenty of times, driving on the Arnhem-Apeldoorn highway which is right next to it. Yesterday I was driving there again and saw the gliders flying overhead. It was too late to make a stop there so I decided to go back today. After all it's only a twentyfive minute drive. The weather was pretty good today; windy but warm and sunny so good weather for glider pilots.
Of course I had to bring the camera with me!
View to the south; the mast and apartment blocks on the horizon are part of the city of Arnhem. On the far side of the field there are gliders too but I couldn't get closer to that location (Without breaking any rules that is)

A view to the west; the trailer parking is in front, the starting position on the left on top of the hill:

Founded in 1932 so it's a few years older than the Deelen AFB which is right next to it:

A small monument for a glider pilot that apparently died during a flight (Duo seater) in 1958:
