The oldest airline in the world; KLM over Dutch Soil.

[Soya 7]

Greetings all,

Here is a series of shots giving tribute the oldest airline in the world still operation under its original name, KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines. I originally planned to show a large variation of KLM's fleet throughout the last century but the variation of a/c is just too large and I would just end up with too many shots for just 1 post. So here is a selection of 20 shots showing the KLM B747-200 (1971-2004), KLM DC-10 (1972-1995) & KLM B767-300 (1995-2007) all flying over the absolutely fantastic freeware photoreal scenery; NL2000v4. Other addons used, FSX Accel, REX2.0, ENB series mod, CLS B747 & DC-10 & Captain Sim's 767.

So enjoy this century old airline, KLM over Dutch soil:

B747-200 (1971-2004):

KLM DC-10 (1972-1995):

KLM B767-300 (1995-2007):

Thank you for time, hope you enjoyed the view.

Brilliant shots Soya; but no Fokkers?

I'm really going to have to get myself organised and download that scenery.

Stunners as ever Soya! As much as I love the DC-10, the 767 has to be my favourite in KLM livery.

Cheers for all those wonderful comments people, it makes the time & effort that I put into these shots, worth it.

PS Although this scenery is freeware, they do accept voluntary donations towards their costs, like hosting, server costs etc. I personally find this scenery to be one of the best out there, even compared to many payware stuff, and I will be using it for years to come, so I gave them a substantial donation. The world of Flight Sim is only breathing due to the countless talented groups/artists/programmers who give us tons of freeware addons for us all to enjoy. If we want this FS community to survive and for these freeware addons to continue, I think sometimes we need to reach into our pockets and share some of our wealth with the people who gives us countless hours of enjoyment. Humanity's greatest gift is our capacity for compassion and generosity, lets not lose that precious gift, even if the world economy isn't doing so well.

Joe: Well spotted on that car ferry, that's the ferry over the NoordZee Kanaal.

Rob: Hopefully in the next series, KLM has used so many variations of a/c over the past century, I just picked 3 KLM a/c I have in my collection.

Troy: If you are using FSX, there is no reason you can't.
