Netherlands: anyone know Henk de Jong?
« on: December 22, 2012, 07:34:44 PM »
Searching for Henk de Jong.  He attended the VSC in the '90s, and in that same era he also visited me during a layover at Amsterdam/Schiphol, escorting me on a tour of the KLM museum there (worth a trip!).  Haven't heard from Henk for many years.....wondering if he is still active in Stunt.

Hi Mike,
 I don't know him personally but yes I can confirm Henk is still vary active in the world of F2B. I saw him fly at the British Nationals this year where he placed 1st.

I'm sure "NED-088" (Bruno van Hoek) would know.

Henk de Jong's fairly recent "Blue Pearl" design looks pretty neat to me...
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

Hi Uncle Mikey,

I visited with Henk at Muncie during the 2004 Worlds.  A wonderful guy!  Some may not know it but Henk has published at least 2 models in FM, the Juno ".60" and Cobra ".60".  (one was take apart ??)

I have not corresponded with him for a while but understand he is still very much involved in CLPA/F2B.

Mike, check your Email.

Here we are (the Dutch F2B team in Muncie 2004)

Some more (in our younger days):
