Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted October 12, 2007 Thanks for the dedication, Pieter, and nice pic! I will try to keep you updated whenever one of our aircraft come to EHAM! (or any other Dutch airport for that matter...) Like you did for this Fokker 100 Unfortunately, there was a slight delay, as at 1700 hrs, the plane was still re-fueled and the truck was in the way So, Levent, could only snap a tail-shot for you Very nice colours !!! Others seen today i.e.: one of the sleakest biz-jets are LearJets - just take a look at these fine lines : IMHO the Falcon 900 is one of the best looking jets ever built; love these colours too: This MD11 is crippled and is waiting for some fanblades for the central engine and repairs at KLM: Than it was off to the hangar; Papa-Charley Victor (and not me, PC), is almost ready to be moved to the paint-shop there: Hope you enjoyed those pictures again...
