Rotterdam-The Hague Airport - EHRD, Netherlands

Notes:

Starting up the number 1 engine, while one of my collegues walks towards the nosewheel to pull the chocks. Between arr and dep of its regular charter flight to Switzerland this aircraft was chartered every now and then to perform a 15 min pleasure flight for propliner-enthusiasts. And guess what, those were always fully booked!
