Good photo’s! I was a passenger onboard flight KL9895 the first one of the day. I must give a lot of credits to all the people involved organising this special event. Here are some photo’s from my side.

1. The screen showing the three flight for today.

2. Passengers were bussed toward R77 where the PH-KCD was being prepared for the one hour flight in Dutch airspace.

3. My seat was 8D in economy comfort, no window unfortunately but plenty of legroom.

5. Departure runway was 18C. Soon as the seatbelt sign was switched off the chaos began. Here is a wingview.

6. Special food for this event.
