Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport

[Ronald]

My cousin and I went to the airport last week. He worked there as an ambulance driver for 5 years, so he knew how to get to every remote corner of the airport. It was a cool day, here are my pics:

The control tower

A prizefighter airline.

Freshly back from Asia.

It was infact a nice day, with temperatures around 14 degrees.

Small-time airplanes

An almost classical plane.

KLM's offices close to the runway.

The airport's smallest runway (seen from a nearby dike)

This was just bizarre. These are actually a couple of kerosine lines, on publicly accesible land.

The Martinair cargo depot.

There's busses all over the airport. Their main purpose is to move local employees around (like a local bus company does). Schiphol is really big, it has 5 runways and it's Europe's 4th busiest airport.

This is my favorite picture, I like how the sun breaks through the clouds in the middle of the pic.

Incoming!

More offices coming soon

Amsterdam's skyscrapers can be seen in the background

Bonus: the area around Leiden's central railway station.

Thanks for watching!

Exactly 10 years ago I was at this airport and it was undergoing MAJOR construction. I'd like to see inside pictures sometime.
