Having sacked a major city gets your app on top of the pile.

The guy is King, and could only hold Fokker F/O for 21 years?

Man, and I thought seniority movement at my company was slow...

Actually pretty well known in The Netherlands. Just nobody really made a big deal about it as it's been his hobby. Europeans tend to respect privacy a little more.
I'd be interested to see the information you have on his civilian flying. My wife is an airline pilot who was born and raised in the Netherlands and has never heard of Willem-Alexander flying anything other than military aircraft.

Let's talk more about your Dutch wife. The two times I've been there I've seen nothing but tens.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 12:54 PM.
