60 and still learning
Posted by propfan on Sunday, February 9, 2003 6:06 AM
Iam living and working in the Netherlands as a Maintenance Controller for a Airline. For the last 10-12 years I do modeling aircraft from all scale's. My interest is going mainly to Airliners-Reconnaissanse and X- planes. I still have a lott to learn, although working for the past 35 years for an Airline helps

Happy modeling

Hi Selier,

Glad to see you onboard! What's your latest airliner project? Must be great to have access to those planes!

Iam working on a DC-6B in Transavia Holland colours. It's nostalgic for me, because I did work on that aircraft myself. At the same time I work on a DC-8 in United colours. So plenty of work.

Happy modeling

Welcome. I know your country very well. I was stationed with the 32 FIS at Soesterberg from 62-65. My wife was from DeBilt. Experience does help. I spent 26 years in the U.S. Air Force and use that knowledge in my modeling.

Glad to see that we both serviced at the same base at the same time. Now Iam able to use my technical knowledge making models.
