There are no Windmills in Holland.

I am sorry to report that there are no windmills in Holland. I have flown over the beautiful countryside of Holland for many, many hours, and have not found one windmill. None, zero, nada, zilch ! I believe it's all a hoax; a farce by the Netherlands Department of Tourism, to attract tourists. Well they are going to be disappointed. There are no windmills in Holland ! .......... PAH ! ! ! :mad:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT?? NO windmills??:mad: you must be not well! Lots of winds also!

" Lots of winds also! "

 

Yes, Big Winds, I can understand.

 

Lovely shots. this DHC-3 in turboprop nose somewhat reminds me of the PC-6. Not long ago ORBX released Holland scenery but that is a hefty 50 bucks or so, waiting for Christmas sale to buy it. I am sure about the windmills and they may throw in a klomp or a clog as well to better steer the rudder!

Fine shots! Sure the traditional windmills are likely not well modeled in FS, as modern ones are likely to be found like freewares! On the other hand, they might have disguised the traditional ones like water pools! :):):):)

I'll give you something VERY traditional !! On your nose! :mad:

On the other hand, those windmills were used to pump water out of some areas to gain fields! :):):):)

Now, don't go tilting at windmills!

Ever since I played the old game Medal Of Honor, I wanted to visit Holland. It was pretty neat in the game during Operation Market Garden. I often wondered: "Does Holland look like that for real?" LOL I did look briefly at the city in Google Street view and it does in a way.

 

Now what is the use of a windmill anyway? Someone said to pump water? I thought they were to grind grain into floor. I also heard at one time tulips were used as currency.

 

 

Edit-

 

 

Looks like my assumption that Holland was a city is in fact a region.

 

And....

 

 

You can't starve there either!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazing how our fat American lifestyle has made it's way around the planet. Up to and including McDonalds, Subway and Starbucks. LOL

You might add some windmills yourself, as here at Kinderdijk, the most well known place at the Netherlands. They are static objects and part of a file named WolfiIndustry".

You see!! :mad: And windmills were used for many things beside pumping water: sawing wood, making paper, oils, paint, flower, you name it. We are Dutch you see, and wind is free of costs! And if we don't like you, we'll tie you to the mill so you make nice circles and enjoy the view, while we enjoy your screams. That's the main purpose of mills. We are very inventive. And yes, we used tulips as a currency: we bought Manhattan with them. HA! Oh, and we're a nation, with a King and a Queen, natural born handsome and noble airmen and a lot of beautiful women and water. Tsk!

we bought Manhattan with them. HA!

Barbarians!

 

On the other hand, you just won over the soccer World champs last night! A deed worth of note!

Our victory was based on pure knowledge and wisdom......;);) But: France missed 3 of their regular players. Bit of luck also.:)

Bit of luck also.:)

 

That's a deed anyway to get rid of world champions barely 5 months after they earned the title! On the other hand, with a guy like you who spend much times in Russia -- be it in jails -- they had a chance that a only Dutch one remind them of where -- and why ??? -- they turned champions :):):)

But let's turn to flight!!

Ouch, ouch......Where's my barf-bag?

 

Hang on Charlie, a Noble Airman will be along shortly! No beautiful women available today! Handsome airmen, you say? I guess that's why some have taken to wearing pink framed sun glasses, just to downplay their handsome-ness (is there such a word?) PAH!

There's only one small problem with the beautiful Dutch women: they don't listen

You can say that again. Strong women!
