The Cessna 336 Skymaster initially flew in Februari 1961 and had fixed landing gear. 195 of this model were built. In February 1965 Cessna introduced the model 337 Super Skymaster. Larger, more powerful engines and a retractable landing gear. The Skymaster handles differently from a conventional twin-engine aircraft, primarily in that if an engine fails, the plane will not yaw toward that engine. Many variations have been built over the years. Different engine types, with and without a pressurized cabin, types for civil and military use. In total 2993 Skymasters are built, including 513 military variants. In 1982 the production in the US stopped but was continued by Reims Aviation in France.Reims built 172. The Dutch Police had two Skymasters had in its fleet. In addition to air observation of traffic situations, the aircraft were also used to check oil pollution in the North Sea and Wadden Sea. The PH-RPD was from October 1973 to July 1987 in the fleet of the Rijkspolitie.
Since 1924 KLM did already aerial photography and air cartering. Initially it used a Fokker CII, the Fokker F.VIIa and the Fokker F.VIII. After WW2 it restarted this services and bought one Auster MkV from the warsurplus of the RAF. Later all kinds of types were added, especially Cessna’s and Pipers. Often it hired additional capacity from third parties. In 1954 the activities were transferred to the subsidiary KLM Aerocarto. In 1995 the company was sold to the Dutch Heidemij. The PH OTO flew from 1980 till 2003 with KLM Aerocarto and than sold to Aviodrome Air Museum at Lelystad Airport.

Flashband Flight was part of Nationaal Vliegtuig Beheer, The Hague.Its activities were pleasure flights and adhoc charters from Rotterdam Airport. During that period they flew with a Cessna P206 Super Skylane, three Dornier Do28D's and a Britten Norman BN-2A. The Islander PH-NVA was purchased for the Amsterdam-Middenzeeland-Lille service, which quickly turned out to be a flop in terms of control. In addition, an attempt has been made to run a weekly service between Rotterdam and the Dutch islands Ameland and Texel during a summer season. At the weekends it flew pleasure flights over Rotterdam. The PH-KFF was from 1969 till the end of 1974 part of its fleet. Flashband and Seaport did not succeed to built a profitable position on the market and stopped its activities. Unfortunately this repaint is not 100% correct because the model of Massimo Grassi and Fravin Guidee has a few limitations. Unfortunately I could not find another freeware model.

The Rijksluchtvaartschool(Dutch Government Flight Training School)was founded on Januari 1st 1946 on Gilze Rijen Airforce Base for training pilots for civil aviation. In the same year began the training of airforce pilots on Gilze Rijen as well and the base became too busy. Therefore the RLS was diverted to Eelde Airport(Groningen). The RLS started with ex RAF Tiger Moths, Harvards and Beechcrafts D-18S. Soon the Tiger Moths and Harvard were replaced by SAAB Safirs. In respect with the introduction of jet airliners in the 60's the Dutch Government ordered in 1962 seven Morane Saulniers MS760B for jettraining.In 1969 3 HFB-320 Hansa Jets were purchased to replace the Morana Saulniers. This was not a really happy purchase because the Hansa Jets were noisy, thursty and expensive to maintain. Two were sold to the USA in 1977 while the last disappeared from the fleet in 1983. In 1973 seven Cessna 500 Citations were purchased which produced much less noise and were more economical to operate. They remained in service until 1991. In 1991 the Rijksluchtvaartschool was privatized and taken over by KLM for the symbolic sum of one Dutch guilder to continue as an independent company under the name KLM Luchtvaartschool (KLS) and later KLM Flight Academy.
