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.

Over the years we have succesfully completed projects with many air arms, including:

The Royal Jordanian Falcons traditionally spend the summer season in Europe, so they invited us to fly a photo sortie with them over the Netherlands prior to a display flight in August 2010.

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 a chance to fly aboard an Alouette III of the Portuguese Air Force helicopter display team 'Rotores de Portugal' during a practice flight.

We visited five Hellenic Air Force airbases during May 2009, which presented a unique opportunity to photograph rarely seen aircraft like the A-7 Corsair, RF-4E Phantom and T-2 Buckeye.

The Romanian Air Force invited us in August 2008 to visit several Romanian airbases and fly the An-26 Curl transport, IAR-330 Puma helicopter and even the MiG-21 LanceR supersonic fighter!
