Woensdrecht is a small airport in the southwest of the Netherlands, located roughly halfway between Rotterdam (RTM) and Antwerp (ANR). It is mostly used by the Dutch military. However, Fokker Services has a large presence too with the largest Fokker Maintenance fascility in Europe. As such this aiport attracts nice visitors going for heavy maintenance and/or conversion. Not a lot, but enough to make a short visit worthwhile when you are in the area. | |||

Fokker has a large storage area where planes are parked. Some long term, for instance there a Lina Congo F.27 has been here for years, some only a short while pending maintenance. A part of this storage area can been seen. Unfortunately there is a large concrete sound wall that can make photography hard. | Fokker has a large storage area where planes are parked.

To get into the final approach you must also get into the Zandfort street as desribed earlier. However, go immediately to the left into the "Antwerpsestraatweg". Follow it for a few 100 metres and that's it. Planes will be rather high though. | To get into the final approach you must also get into the Zandfort street as desribed earlier.
