Like most of us, my interest in aviation started at a fairly early
age. At that time we lived close to the Amsterdam city-center, right
under the flight path to Schiphol Airport which was about 7 or 8
miles to the west. Often at night, when I was doing my homework in my
attic room, I heard the magnificent roar of piston engines (that
sound still gives me a queasy feeling.) It usually was a KLM
Super Constellation (with bright blue-white flaming exhausts and
its belly and wings reflecting the street lights) turning into
the final approach pattern. |
