This website was created in March 2004 by three photographers with a long-time shared interest in military aviation. Over the years we have specialized in writing articles for international magazines on a freelance basis. Photographing aircraft and helicopters, both in the air and from the ground, remains a crucial aspect of our work as our articles cannot be published without spectacular photos.

MilAvia Press was founded in 2004 by Koen Herwers, Dirk Jan de Ridder and Menso van Westrhenen as an online portfolio of our work for printed aviation magazines worldwide.

In February 2011 we visited the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath and were offered the opportunity to photograph the unit's F-15s during air-to-air refueling from a KC-135 tanker.

In June 2010 we revisited the Czech Air Force pilot training homebase and made a one-hour photo flight involving no less than eight aircraft, two helicopters and 18 pilots!

In May 2010 we were offered an opportunity to fly the F-5F Tiger II in Switzerland during a 4-vs-4 Beyond Visual Range air combat, with photo opportunities on the way in to and out of the warzone.

At the end of the 2009 airshow season we had an opportunity to fly aboard an Alouette III of the Portuguese Air Force helicopter display team 'Rotores de Portugal' during a practice flight.
