![]() ![]() They had a couple of guys that knew anything and everything about desk top computers and flight simulation. One day I decided to stop by at the Luchtvaarthobbyshop as the aviationmegastore used to be called. I had been fiddling around with Flight Simulator for quite a while. In those teenage days I was an avid aviation model builder.įast forward to the mid 90s. We used to ride our bicycle all the way to Aalsmeer and spend hours roaming around the shop. I have been coming there since I was a teenager with some mates. He also collected all the old manuals and charts from his colleagues and sold them second hand in his shop. It was started by a KLM pilot, who brought all sort of hard to get models, decals, books and magazines with him from all over the world. These days this a huge store, but in the early days it was tiny. ![]() ![]() A fantastic shop for aviation enthousiast, they sell anything from kit models, ready made models, books, magazines and just about everything when it comes to flight Simulation. ![]() Some of you, especially those who collect aircraft models, are familiar with the Aviation megastore near Amsterdam airport.

Never!Īs I went through the various books, binders, charts and so on, I relived some of my memorable moments with the 747. Funnily enough, although I have owned all sorts of 747 related stuff, I have never ever, not even as little boy, owned a 747 model, be it ready made or kit. Reading through the various posts and articles on the internet I had a look of what is left of my 747 documentation and books. For many people, not necessarily aviation enthusiasts, the 747 is a truly iconic plane. Threads like these are popping up all over the Internet. This very last 747 produced, has gotten quite a bit of exposure all around the world. In my earlier post I mentioned a few things about my enthusiasm and experience on the 747. ![]()
