Am retired pilot who once flew DC-8's and other types. Also flew the military version of the Electra - the P3. Both great airplanes.

Have you ever seen so many weird vehicles in your life? The horse trailer as well as the small scooter were my favs

Fantastic aircraft in it's time. Was lucky enough to fly on a DC - 8 63 series Surinam Airways but on the Dutch register.

KLM flew Douglas aircraft for many years, beginning in the 1930s with the DC-2.

Don't understand Dutch, but the video is very good!

Look at Schiphol nowadays, a teeny bit more than a 100 planes per day...1100..
