K-3067 @ EHLW		 K-3054 @ EHDL - In the twilight of its career the NF-5 became a performer for the crowds. Due to the 75th anniversary of the Dutch Air Force the display team Double Dutch was formed. The display was flown by a pair of NF-5's.

K-3026 @ EHLW - After the F-104 was withdrawn from use the NF-5 had to take over the quick reaction alert duties until the F-16 became operational. Armed with live Sidewinders suddenly the NF-5 looked like a real fighter.
K-3026 @ EHLW		 K-4027 @ EHLW - The NF-5 used to be regular visitors. Overshadowed by the F-104 and F-16 it was the safest aircraft ever to serve in the RNlAF.
