Excellent thought and quite stunning wish! | |
AMAZING! COOL! | |
Yeah! Thats me and my Airline friends twenty years from now..... | |
Holland what else! | |
Wonderful shot!! Just lovely... Makes me wish there was an xtra chair. The contrast between foreground & background is simply amazing. Two different worlds w/the plane unifying them. | |
Oh, where are my 70 years?)) | |
These folks certainly know how to spend a good day. Nice picture. | |
It´s always fun to drive to EHAM for a spotting day. Take great pictures, eat a salmon baguette in the restaurant, enjoy the scenery and friendly people. Safety? Don´t swim through the water, security will get you on the other shore... Groetjes vanuit Keulen, Duitsland. | |
Talking about retiring, how about those F50's in the background?! Shame, no (turbo)props in the KLM fleet anymore. Missing em already. | |
Fantastic photo, and the visitor from New Zealand is totally right! in Israel i wouldnt let people enter the airports safety zone and get so close to the runway but hey man, this is the Netherlands - there is a big difference and by the way, in St. Marteen the aircraft are flying some 6 or 7 meters over visitors at the beach and land immedeatly after passing them - so where´s the difference!? | |
To the commenter from Israel, its a great photo, you cant assume every country in the world has the same security risks as Israel. | |
LOL :-D | |
Great photo... not only does it capture flight, but also a bit of humor and affection as well... | |
Retired pilots and stewardesses, still in love with airplanes ... | |
Yes, I want a life like this when retired. | |
The club has expanded since this photo was taken! | |
Aah, this is all a spotter needs after his retirement! On the left among the KLM Fokker 50s you can spot an ATR in KLM Livery! Must be one from KLM's commuter subsidiary, KLM Exel. Plenty of turboprop action back then... Not anymore now the Fokker 50 left the KLM Cityhopper fleet :( | |
Amen. | |
What did you say? I can't hear you! I think I'm getting too old... | |
Ah, the good life... | |
I'm jealous about these peole, not only because they are so close to this great brazilian/american invention but also because they're retired in one of the most beautiful/fair/organized countries on this planet (NL)... I hope I'll make it to holland too one day and perhaps i'll have the same view of Eham, Tot ziens ;D (Andre-Brazil) | |
Love it! | |
What? Speak up, I can't hear you!!! | |
This is one of a kind!!!Just brilliant | |
My Dream To Be One Of Them :) | |
Thats me in 50 years :) | |
Funny and good. | |
Couldn't agree more LN-RRR;D ps. not just during retirement.. | |
I love that picture! last year I was there on that spot, looking at all the heavies and the cityhopper fleet of KLM. too bad that spot is closed... now I'll go to the speacial spotting site at the mac-donalds and under the approach path for the Polderbaan. I Love EHAM! | |
This is definitely the best picture on a.net!! it shows how people who have fallen in love with aviation stay with it by just taking some lawn chairs and friends to go planespotting at the local airport. | |
Just the beers are missing! apart from it this IS what retirement should be about | |
Memberships in the elite "retired spotters club" are very hard to obtain but if you can get one the rewards are wonderful! | |
It's not stupid... If is was, they would sit somewhere else with a not so good view: the police station. There's actually a little canal between them and the runway. --- By the way, this is just a fabulous picture... it would be at any major airport. | |
It is not to bad when you are old, if you can see things like this one. :) | |
Awesome picture! If this is what I'm doing when I retire, I'll be more than happy | |
I would have given you 10/10 but since 5/5 is the top that's what you got. Fantastic shot!:-) | |
Nice one ;) Yep, that's Schiphol Amsterdam EHAM That spotting place is going to be closed in a few months :(. I've sat there too ;) great view | |
I wish I was one of them:P | |
Now thats wut I call retirement! | |
I like to see those peoples seat and just looking for the plane. | |
Wao...this is really funny'I personally would bring my recliner chair if I could be so close to the runway.I bet a lot of people are JEALOUS from not being able to be close to the runway enjoying.FIVE STARS | |
Does anybody wants a cofee? | |
I think letting people get so close to the runway is not funny, it's more stupid than funny | |
I LOVE SCHIPHOL!! Easy to understand the reason,right? | |
Good luck to them, great shot. | |
Excellent Idea! Also check out the fleets of KLM fokker aircraft in the back! | |
Bravo! This photo deserves the home page. | |
Schipol where they welcome spotters! Heathrow and Gatwick please note; there is a canal which prevents access to the airfield (unless you want to get wet!) | |
Haha yeah that's my plan, lucky people! well deserved I guess | |
WoW, hell yeah thats the retirement plan. Great photo :) | |
Sweet picture | |
Yes sir, that's my idea of retirement, spotting planes with my fellow geezers. Sweet. | |
The Boeing 736, is very rare. | |
5 of 5, a really great shot! I wouldn't mind living near an airport, but this as a hobby would even be better. Thanks for this picture! | |
I dream of a life like that. | |
This picture could inspire a Normal Rockwell painting. No words are needed. | |
Amazing... It makes me wonder how they got so close. | |
Look at all the KLM that is definetley Schiphol. | |
Do you remember an old "Jose Quervo" Tequila advertisment? | |
Makes me smile :) | |
Nice shot! One day I'll sit in a chair like them... It's nostalgic. | |
After more than forty years of flying, once in a while it is fun to watch someone make a landing and either grease it on or screw it up. It's pretty easy to tell what's going on even from an easy chair beside the runway. Good picture. | |
Yes id love to do that when im retired | |
They´re so close. How did they get there? They´re so lucky! T.B. | |
Artistic impresion? | |
