In 1990, the RLS bought 9 Slingsby T.67C-3 Firefly for the basic training. They replaced the eight Cessna F.152-IIs operating in this role since 1980. When in August 1991, the KLM took over the RLS and transferred it into the KLM Luchtvaartschool(KLM Flight Academy): the aircraft were repainted in the basic KLM colours.
The T.67 Firefly was a further developed Fournier RF-6. René Fournier designed his RF-6 in 1974. It was based on his earlier all-wood motor gliders with high aspect wings. He started a factory in Nitray in France especially for the RF-6. After having built 40 aircraft, he ran into financial difficulties and had to close his doors. Fournier had sold the license to Slingsby, which further developed the RF-6. The wooden construction was replaced by composite and the aircraft was made completely acrobatic. This became the T.67C of which around 250 were built. The PH-SGG was registered with KLM Luchtvaartschool BV, Eelde, was withdrawn from use in November 2001 and sold to France.

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.
