The Peruvian navy has purchased two surplus Royal Netherlands Air Force Fokker 50 transports.
Previously operated by the air force's 334 Sqn from Eindhoven air base in the VIP transport role, aircraft U-05 (20253) and U-06 (20287) have been parked at Lelystad airport pending their sale, and kept in an airworthy situation and flown on a regular basis.
