After a week or two sence arriving on the Concorde it was time to get back to Europe.  Insted of my usual trips back to Paris I was put on a KLM 777-200 heading to Ampsterdam...

Its 18:15, passengers have boarded, and we are ready for pushback.
Image
Taxiing to 31L for departure.
Image
Wings flex upward as we take to the sky.  Its going to be a long 7 hours.  
Image
At our cruising altitude and just crossing into Canadian airspace.  Current ETA 07:30.
Image
Half way over the Atlantic... We are soon to be in a little turbulence but so far its been pretty smooth.
Image
Decending to FL220.
Image
About 25 miles outside EHAM we are cleared for the rwy 6 aproch.
Image
On final and clreared to land.  
Image
Touchdown...A little off center due to a sudden gust of wind.  But still a rather smooth landing.
Image
Parked at the gate.  Its 7:15 and we are just a bit early... I'm off to a hotel and then to where ever.

Thanks ;D

Well... I'm in Ampsterdam, I have all kinds of places to go from here, but i can't decide on where to go ::)

Though the types of AC i have are quickly limiting my options.  Im thinking about possibly heading to Paris and going from there.  Im afraid my Air France hanger is much larger then my KLM hanger :-[  So I guess Im off to Paris sometime soon 8)
