Broken
Wings, rusted Parts, corroded aluminum, loose Parts and a total state of
destruction. The Dakota L-4 made in 1944 in Oklahoma, USA couldn’t have looked
more sad than the state it was in, when we arrived for the Dakota DoomsDay
Party on Sunday September the 15th. at the Valkenburg Naval Air Station near
Katwijk in the Netherlands. It was a farewell party, attended by many WWII
Veterans and Dakota lovers. Farewell Party, because the very next day the
Dakota was completely dismantled.
Prior
to the disassembly, Hans Wiesman and his company Avionart, organised the Dakota
Doomsday Party on Sunday 15 Sept, a farewell meeting that was attended by WW II
Jeeps, Trucks and Army Harley-Davidsons as a tribute to this Warbird Dakota,
the Aluminum Soldier that will never fly again.
