Final for Runway 06 at 11-05am. (Canon 40D 135mm)

Built in 1999; withdrawn from use on 31 October 2016.

Crossing the Rwy 06 threshold.

KQ116 taxies on to stand after the flight up from Nairobi.

25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Yak-40 - Jak-40 in some transcriptions - remained in service with the Czech air force.

Now in new colours, with the Coat of Arms of the Netherlands on the forward fuselage.

Used by Rolf Visser, boss of the KNSF investment company.

This a/c was written off Feb 99 (as 9G-ROX) at Bratislava after she overran the runway on an aborted TO due to engine failure.

Short final for Runway 06.

Operated by Schreiner but flying for Sabena if I remember correctly. note the interesting F.100 on the far side.

A nice Il-62 seen here crossing runway 06/24 on its way to the S-apron. At that time it was still an active part of Russia's governmental transport fleet (Rossiya State Transport Company), but its CofA expired in Jan 2007. It was then stored at the Kazan Aircraft Production Association (KAPO) factory at Kazan, Russia, and it was still there by Oct 2020.

Climbing out after a Rwy 36C departure.

Photo 1 of 2 (see here). This Tristar suffered a compressor stall in engine #1 during the take-off run for a Dutch Caribbean Airlines Amsterdam-Curaçao flight. The scene here is a few seconds later, showing the subsequent high-energy Rejected Take-Off (RTO) on rwy 24, causing significant damage to the landing gear. The aircraft was stored for repairs, but a second attempt three weeks later saw a repeat of the problem. It then remained stored at Schiphol for three years, until ferried to Lissabon on 20 July 2007, and on to Victorville, CA a month later for continued storage. In Jan 2014 it was acquired by TriStar History and Preservation Inc. and reregd to N91011, then sold to Orbital Sciences Corp. in April 2018.

Photo 2 of 2 (see here). This was the situation on runway 24 at Schiphol, 25 minutes after this former Air Portugal TriStar (ex CS-TEC, SE-DVF) executed a high-energy rejected Take-Off following an compressor stall in the #1 engine (see other photo). This RTO caused major damage to the landing gear, which kept it from vacating the runway. It blocked Schiphol's most-used runway for many hours. It would be three years before the aircraft would finally leave the airport. Following many years of continued storage at Vacaville, CA it was registered to TriStar History and Preservation Inc. as N91011 in Feb 2014, then to Orbital Sciences Corp. in April 2018. Apologies for the heat haze in this distant shot.
