Fellow builders,
Y'all haven't heard from me quite a while.
I do have just one excuse....I mandatorily retired from commercial flying as from 1st of january, just because I became 65 years of age..!!
This is a worldwide requirement. Unfortunately, I still could have done some years of flying, my medical en simulator tests were up to the requirements.
Anyway, no turning back, my last flight with the dreamliner B787-8 from Curacao/dutch antilles to Amsterdam at the 27th of december was business as usual.
I got the fire brigade salute at Curacao, not permited anymore at Schiphol/Amsterdam.
Whats next..?? Well, more time for the aviatik build...!!
And not out of flying completely, will continue as a Type Rating Instructor on the 787 sim at Amsterdam and Boeing in London. But this is not full time.
Will get my Single Engine Piston ( SEP) back, and will do some banner towing in a Piper cub this summer, really looking forward to that, back to the basic's..!!
Last, but not least, enjoy my family and the little dachshund, who joined us last week.
