No, this was not an ATC error or a botched landing. The Fokker 100 is leaving the KLM fleet for good and one of them got a truly special destination for its days in pension.
This Fokker 100 is there not only as a static specimen you can look at from the outside. She continues to welcome people also in her cabin even though she will no longer ply Europe’s airways.
Here is a video of how she was hauled onto the panorama terrace and other interesting details of this nice initiative. Although the clip is in Dutch, the pictures speak for themselves.
By the way, in one corner of the Schiphol shopping mall you will run into parts of a KLM 737’s fuselage… I wonder where the 747s will go once they are withdrawn from service?
Anyway, congratulations Schiphol and KLM, wonderful initiative and a worthy resting place for any airplane!
