I wish more airports were that friendly to plane spotters. I mean they even have a terrace for them, that's awesome. My local international airport, EWR it's almost impossible it seems.

Toronto Pearson airport has nothing. The only places you can spot planes is sitting on the side of the road or sit in the terminal waiting for youre flight. When I went to Schipol last year it was an amazing experience watching the planes on that terrace.

In the biggest part of Europe it is not allowed to do at plane spotting. In Belgium it is not allowed and that is also why you are able to see a lot of Belgium people at Schiphol...

For those who don't know why this plane is special for Mr Van Dam: Fokker F100(i guess) he worked on : Overall length = 35,53m - Wingspan = 28,08 m - Height = 8,5m Now compare to the A380 : Overall length = 72.72 m - Wing span = 79.75 m - Height = 24.09 m The A380 is the largest passenger aircraft ever made

Thank again KLM team.
