peer01 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I was 5 years old at that time (and already a pretty noble and young intellectual of course) I remember these Convairs very well. EHAM has changed completely over the years but the old control tower still exists. Awesome retro-flight once more my friend! :cool::cool::cool::pilot: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
