YUMA, ARIZONA – The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) 336th Squadron is returning home for Christmas after the 3-week exercise ‘Desert Bull’ in the Sonoran Desert, just outside Yuma, Arizona. During the exercise, 2 RNLAF C-130 Hercules cargo planes were stationed at MCAS Yuma, from where the aircraft conducted low-level flights and practiced the dropping of paratroopers, vehicles and equipment from high altitudes. Watch in this next video how Dutch Marine Corps marines, Army commandos (green berets) and Army paratroopers (red berets) jump out of a RNLAF C-130 Hercules during a flight at high altitude.

336 Squadron komt weer naar huis. Na drie weken trainen in Yuma, met onder andere @korpsmariniers, @KCTinfo , @landmacht en @11Luchtmobiel, is het tijd om te genieten van de feestdagen. Fijne reis!#DesertBull @VlbEindhoven pic.twitter.com/neAj6QyNiA
