Dutch Air Force jets, a Chinook carrying a giant flag, and a C-130 Hercules are set to roar over Zandvoort this Sunday—right before the Grand Prix kicks off at 2:45 PM, with the national anthem played by the Air Force Orchestra. It’s a historic send-off for what may be the last Dutch Grand Prix for years, organized at the request of race officials and timed perfectly into the Air Force’s schedule. But locals and nature advocates are furious—twice they’ve begged the Ministry of Defense to cancel, only to get silence. Their main gripe? The added noise pollution on top of three days of race roar, plus being blindsided by the late announcement. The Middenduin area, a protected nature reserve next to a national park, is already under strain from traffic chaos starting Thursday. This flyby might be patriotic—but for some, it’s just another headache.
