Yep... Reportedly a couple hundred people showed up for the Ruslan in Pardubice when it brought medical equipment to the Czech Republic. And they have quite a long stricter measures in there then NL. I have a feeling it's gonna be packed with people who just "went for a walk far away from residential areas"...

Goodbye beautiful KLM Big Blue 747-400s and Combi.
Thank you for all the good work though all the years.
You will be missed by many.

+1 on a sad day. I wish there could've been a more special moment, but at this point we would be happy if our airlines survive.
Anyone have any super memorable flights / memories they want to share?

Also met some 'celebs' on flights. Mostly ignored but once I was flying back from JRO and sat next to Richard Roundtree and we had a really nice long talk about our familiar industries. And he is absolutely not the person we know from the movies!
And he like the houses so I gave him mine too.

If KLM has indeed retired its 747 fleet permanently, why haven't they updated their schedules? MEX-AMS and YYZ-AMS in May, for instance, both show 747s operating these flights and the seat maps are of 747s.
