Danger....paparazzi in the cockpit!

Today John (JohnTulip), Pim (Hitbit) and Don (Wallie) visited the technical area of the KLM Engineering & Maintenance on Schiphol airport.

Those guys started from the first minute on photographing (John even with one leg still in his car) and didn’t stop until it became dark. On this picture John is calling one of his friends to let tel him in real life about his Schiphol adventures. Pim has a good laughter as always and Don couldn't be captured because he was running around to get fine shots of other nice parts of the Boeing 747-400 which we were visiting at that moment, sorry Don.

Boy my soles of my shoes are totally worn after dragging those fellahs from hangar to platform, around the aircrafts on the platform and a visit in the cockpit. While John and Pim took close ups from the instrument panel I made a picture of John making pictures. When I checked this image (the little added photo in the frame) in my photo programme, a “DANGER” tag attached at one of the air-conditioning switches was pointing to the famous TL-photographer :)

We were ending up the day with a nice dinner in the “Pelikaan” [Pelican] a small Dutch restaurant near the airport. The name of the restaurant is also the name of a famous KLM DC2 aircraft named “The Pelican”.

That’s for it today my dear TL-friends I’m totally worn, but happy it was a great successful day. Thanks to John, Pim and Don!

In the WS you find a portrait of the Dutch TL-bunch!

Haha ... sounds like it was a great day! So good to see Trekkers in action, and having so much fun too!
A good clear shot with excellent metering, I love the context of the plane - a 747, is it?

Good to see our TLers in action at the airport. Good composition, and the insert is a nice touch.

I called John this evening and caught him as soon as he walked in the door. He said he had a great time with lots of photo opportunities! I can only imagine what they all managed to photograph!...lol... A great shot of our Dutch Paparazzi friends and WS!

Well done & waiting to see more

Hi Hans. Now I can add Pim to my list of Trekkers I have seen. The workshop could be a wanted poster from somewhere, Don looks the only sane one. Good reporting my friend and two good images. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Little Dove’

Hans de gids van Schiphol. En wanneer ga je er geld voor vragen, want dan moet ik dat moment nog ff voor zijn. Een prachtige foto van twee happy campers. John is al vaker te zien op TL, maar het is zeker leuk om Pim ook te zien.
Groeten,
Niek

Excellent and funny compo, both photographers look great near the plane, with their cameras and determined expressions ! It must have been a great day...

It was a very nice and pleasant day my friend.
You are a very good and nice host. Did a very good job with explaining all kinds of facets of planes and all the work at and around Schiphol.

Good "Old" Johnnie, I already knew, but now I have two more TL-friends who I met (you and Pim). I like that.

Again, it was a very nice day and I want to thank you one more time.

Have a nice day ad see you.

Groetjes,

Don
