Usual daily departure? No, it's different! The oldest active B747 all around the world and has been retired in December 2018. This was her final revenue flight back to Amsterdam. Look at the engine no. 2 with yellow strip sign on the cowling. Now she is preserved and display at Corendon Village Hotel Amsterdam with Corendon livery. KLM 602 is blasting off, the very last time to leave the American soil, and heading back to hometown Amsterdam in the afternoon.
