For the first time after the bankruptcy and the change of owners the Aviodrome museum hosted an event, this time with the focus on the Korean war.

There was a group of reenactors that brought a 'Mash' camp with them, and another group, appropriately called 'Keep them rolling' that brought some periodic vehicles:

All the way from Munich (On a trailer) came this Bell-47G helicopter:

Interesting way to mount a six-cylinder engine:

It did quite a few flights during the weekend:

Another visitor was this Yak-52, which happened to be in the neighbourhood:

The Early Birds foundation used this event to show their P-51D 'Trusty Rusty', a former Reno racer and the third Mustang in the Dutch registry:

But of course the big (Really, really biiig..) star of the event was this Douglas AD-4NA Skyraider G-RADR trhat flew in from North Weald:
