Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 Droaning away from runway 04 is this ex Prince Bernhard's personal transport (PBA) now in use of DDA Airlines and painted in the classic AF colours: Withdrawn from use by KLM, this 733 PH-BDK is now in all-white livery waiting for re-delivery back to the lease-company.

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 Already shown 'bare' on A.net recently, she came to AMS to finish-off her dress this week Here, she's seen prior to her delivery-flight to GVA today... I really like the way, they incorproated the Swiss flag in the top B of Baboo (tail)...

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 You've really gotta love the E-190! Its gonna look nice when they hit AMS in KLM colours! We've got 3 operating in Australia now (-ZPA/B with DJ, -SXK with S9/PX) with plenty more on the way...Actually just like our Fokker fleet, our Embraer jet fleet is expanding as well (now 6 E-170's: -ZHA/B/C with DJ, -SWO with S9, -ANO with TL). Virgin have 20 something more on order mix of 170's and 90's but this will no doubt grow, it already has! SkyAirWorld have atleast 1 more 170, 1 more 190 and a new type for AU, 2 ERJ-145's on order. Air North is expected to take a 2nd -170 soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 You've missed her for a while at KUL, but now she's ready again after her C-check, LX-UCV almost ready to depart from 'the shed': No more hangar-doors in the way, Bravo-Delta-Kilo was sunbathing this afternoon in 25 degrees weather : KC wanted this one soooo bad in SIN; unfortunately for you, this African beauty prefers the Dutch sun and is seen here resting between the NBO-AMS-NBO flights, operated for KLM till the end of May : Rising oil prices also generate more natural gas income; no wonder Gazprom can afford this 737 now (sorry for the angle, caused by baggage-carts and stairs ): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cornelis Boersma 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Te vet Pieter! To awesome! Will be very good as Martinair is most likely going to dissapear in the near future. Too bad the last "old colors" is gone now. But this one will make this bruise be solved much faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC Sim 2 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Thanks very much for the shot of KQ's B777 . . . and especially for the stunning Martinair shot!! Need to seek clarification : Are these colours for Martinair their newest colours or are these retro colours to celebrate some event? These colours are absolutely beautiful and I would love to see them on the MD-11s!!! KC Sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 Guys, Finally, some pictures from EHAM again to share... Last year she flew for Martinair (see picture old thread), but this year she will operate for Transavia.com (ex Miami Air): The deco-bay had been empty for more than one week, but has a nice visitor again: arrived 31may08 as N725BC from VCE, and is destined for Aeroflot-Cargo after the repaint...no guesses for the ex-registration and/or airline here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
