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...
Simply incredible. What a fantastic, befitting and memorable "gift" to both father and son who had served a wonderful airline with pride and dedication. An exemplary gesture by KLM and Amsterdam International Airport Schiphol.
This video brought tears to my eyes. It´s ammazing the pleasure and joy in this gentleman´s face. Thanks for allow us to share this great moment. Salute, from Brazil.
The Dutch people are very special. I was there in the 80s, but in the army at the time. I was made so welcome by anyone I met. I hope to go back as a civilian and see the country properly. What a heartwarming video. Peace.
That was good for Mr. Van Dam to visit the A380, it is sure that he likes airplane very much, and of course we as a audience fortunately in seeing this video, our dream in visit the plane just like Mr. Van Dam is certainly. Yeah! I am a toy collector and obsessed with the model of airplane, I thought everyone who are also toy collector has the same feeling. Thank you!
Very polite and generous gesture by the Dutch airport authorities in making this elderly man's life more pleasant. Well done, Schipol airport authorities!!!
Really nice to see at Schiphol the home base of KLM who some years ago when I contacted them that a work colleague who was dying of cancer and going home to Japan and requested a best seat in economy and I found out afterwards was upgraded to business-though it was a lovely caring gesture for someone going home to die! Thank again KLM team.
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
So lovely when Airlines and Airports take the time out from their busy schedules to make someones Dream come True,Well done Schipol the only time I have ever been close to an aircraft was a Virgin 747, when we deboarded at Stanstead, I was very poorly in a wheelchair and unable to appreciate it, and Virgin didn't have the Time nor patience to help my wife & I, I am fully recovered now thank goodness, maybe one day I will get the chance again haha
Dit was echt heel erg mooi! Ik hou zelf van vliegtuigen. Heel arg mooi filmpje. En wat een Airbus jonge! De grootste op de wereld (met een antonov 225 mrya)
I also liked seeing K L M , I could even work for them ... I'm an electronic technician ... I sent them so much that they got tired ... I'm young, maybe I got into this dream in aging ...I LOVE KLM...
86 yrs old and still a big kid
and that's a really beautiful thing about it too
uuppmghjd
Exactly right??!! His facial expression says it all.. Boys big toys 😁
NL is one amazing country for its great attitude towards elders in the community. Much Respect to this amazing land
You did a nice thing for this man... thank you
That was incredibly sweet.
That was just so AWESOME!! The moment you physically side by side with an A380 is another thing you will never forget in your life
Beautiful and kind gesture by the staff of Schipol! 😊
Simply a lovely gesture for Mr Van Dam. Thanks for doing this.
A fantastic gesture for a senior citizen, with an aviation passion.
Well done Schiphol!

This is a beautiful thing you all did for this old man ...God Bless you all for doing it and God Bless him !
What a fantastic video, and such a nice gesture for Mr Van Dam. I don't think anyone forgets the experience of seeing the A380 up close!
Simply incredible. What a fantastic, befitting and memorable "gift" to both father and son who had served a wonderful airline with pride and dedication. An exemplary gesture by KLM and Amsterdam International Airport Schiphol.
What a very good gesture, seem like very nice people-cant see Willy Walsh( BA budget airline) doing anything like that!
Made me miss my grandpa. Loved this one. If I get to that age, expect me on the Schiphol terrace as well.
Loved it!!! Great job, awesome gift!
I have the utmost respect for people that treat the elderly like this. One day we will all be old if we are lucky and having your wits is a bonus.

IT'S EASY TO LEARN IT FOR ENGLISH AND GERMAN PEOPLE
Amazing. Making dreams come true to a well deserved man.❤
Sweet gesture by airport staff. Old man's dreams come true. Lovely
What a wonderful, wonderful group of people to make this happen. Has made my day.
I can understand how much delighted would Mr Vam Dam be with such a surprise offer by Airport authority, great way to cheer a ex employee of aviation
