Amsterdam Airport July 2014 Part 1

This was my first time I visited The Netherlands and spent 5 days of one of my best plane spotting areas in Europe! I'll be making 4 part blog in Amsterdam Schipol Airport.

When I was on Flybe parking I saw this aircraft belong to KLM. It's a Boeing 747-400M meaning Passenger/freight or Combi. It carry passengers at the front with cargo at the back with a large cargo door open. It first flew in 30th June 1989 KLM was the first one delivered in September 19th 1989. There are 3 in KLM Asia livery only heading to Asia. as

KLM PH-KCB McDonnell Douglas MD-11 new to KLM in March 1994 taken 20th July 2014.

One of the main reason I want to go to Amsterdam is to take few shots of the last 4 KLM's McDonnell Douglas MD-11. In 1993 KLM delivered their MD-11 in December 7th 1993 I believe the first one is PH-KCA most of KLM's MD-11 as recently sent one in storage & most waiting for scrapped. To be honest KLM should continue operated MD-11's as they are not as hold compare to older Boeing 747-400 most are still active (like British Airways). Here is link of KLM's last flight which will start at the end of October.
