Do the Dutch love the Boeing 737-800? Well, all four Dutch passenger airlines fly it!

Last Tuesday my nephew Marcel flew back to Amsterdam after a summer break on our native island Aruba. After meeting with him at Schiphol to hear the latest updates from Aruba, I stayed at the airport for some spotting. The Boeing 737-800 is a common sight today in the Netherlands. All four Dutch passenger airlines fly this fabulous bird to destinations in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
