After serving KLM for more than 20 years this Boeing 747 found a new home in Thailand with Phuket Air. Before the aircraft eventualy would be delivered in December of 2004 as HS-VAC it already recived its new 'colourscheme' in November of 2003. Its former KLM registration PH-BUU was taped on after it emerged from the paintshop.

Although it was not uncommon that Dutch leisure airliners, like DutchBird, would park their aircraft off season during the day at the general aviation platform at Schiphol. It was however very rare to see all three of DutchBirds Boeing 757s parked in a row. From front to back; PH-DBB, PH-DBA and PH-DBH are waiting for things to come during the slow month of November.

I made a trip out at 00-30am to shoot this CN235 parked up for a night stop at the General Aviation area and it left early in the morning. (D60 F5.6 at 15 seconds ISO 100)
