Had the pleasure of landing on the Polderbaan once again this afternoon. This time, we crossed the Zwanenburgbaan at intersection W3 (2050 meters from the southern end, according to a big yellow sign). By the time we reached the KLM Cargo building we were reassured by the following announcement :"Ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain. We are not lost!"

To compensate for the extra time we had to spend strapped in our seats we arrived at B19, thus giving us all the opportunity to stretch our legs properly after disembarkation.

By the way, Spotwelder, do you know why the old runways 01/19 were renamed 18/36 when the Polderbaan was added? As far as I can tell they are not aligned due north/south.
