Today I was able to visit the fire department located at Schiphol. Schiphol had 3 stations, our school was invited to visit the base station. Overall it was a nice morning with some cool action! Here some pics and some of the spotting afterwards 😉

1. What do you get when mixing a 747 Fuselage, 767 wings and a MD-11 tail?
