GKN Fokker

Vandaag met Young GKN Fokker naar een vliegbasis van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht! Deze jonge leiders werken dagelijks aan het ontwikkelen en produceren van onderdelen voor de vliegtuigen van de Luchtmacht op de locaties Papendrecht en Hoogeveen. Mooi het eindproduct van dichtbij te zien, en vooral met de mensen te praten die er mee werken. En ook nog een mooi weerzien met oud-315 Sq genoot Henk bij gastheer Multinational MRTT Unit (MMU). Dank voor de gastvrijheid AMC Vliegbasis Eindhoven Linda Lauret en team!
