Rotterdam impression including GA

Today we had the Dutch spotters convention at the Rotterdam airport again.
During this day it is usually possible to do a platform tour. The weather did not play along but the tourguides did their best as always!

Lots of VLM’s are already repainted

Thanks EC, that’s the one. I’m not sure if there are any registered in the UK but I did see one on approach to Luton last week. They sound quite different from the King Air or other twin turboprops. I think the only other one I’ve seen in Europe was the one Ferrari use as a team transport. Anyway thanks again.

Agreed, some nice and unusual shots there. Did you happen to get a picture of the Piaggio Avanti parked behind the Cirrus in the hangar? Quite a rare bird in Europe I think.

I was there as well, but quickly left after I found that my sight-seeing flight was cancelled due to weather. Amazing thing is, back in Den Bosch the weather was rather favourable, even a tad sunny! Only now it is getting a tad grey.

Did Kammair manage to perform any flights today?
