The Musketeers/Les Mousquetaires of -de Treklens

Today Treklens we where guests of the VERY charming
*Hans GreenBaron* at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, as you can see us here.. camera plus selftimer on the hood-Car of Pim.
(Hans Standing at the right)
We had realy a day to remember a long long time and Hans is a born Tourleader.
This man realy knows his stuff! WOW. Every meter, pipe, cable..rotating parts..navigation system.. all the knobs handles and throthels in the Cockpit ...well he IS a walking encyclopedia!!

Even so.. everybody in Schiphol seems to know our Gentleman ( I always like to observe persons) so each and everyone was pleassed happy to see him and had quick chats where ever we went..

Thanks Hans, it was FANTASTIC!!!!
The good looking 2 other Gents here are:
Standing on left: Pim Den Dekkker **Hitbit**
Standing middle:
Don Wallenstein**Wallie**
And that creature in middle *moi*

Don and I know each other a little longer but Pim was a new apple in the fruitbasket.
What is he like? A super guy wityh lots of humor and someone who knows his stuff! Great guy!

Yes our trip was a sucses and to make a nice end of the day, we went for a little relaxed dinner and a few good glasses

Thanks Treklens for reading all this and to the Guys:
Thanks Hans!! Pim and Don! Looking forward to meet you again soon

Humorvolle foto.

Hi John,

In fact there is a 5th Musketeer but he couldn't make it :((
A great portrait of the Dutch Musketeer/Paparazzi. Looking at everyones faces looks like you all had a great time!

Waiting to see more! (^_^)
Constantinos

Well, there's no mistaking who Porthos is, hey?
And the more I look at this, the more I think you guys really match them physically.
A lot :-). With you being Aramis of course, Don being D'artagnan, Pim being Athos and last but not least (:-]) Hans as Porthos. Amazing.
Very nice capture.

Nice one. I got the feeling Hans knew more about airports and planes than the rest of us.
Stunning quote and so true.
