Dutch King Reveals He Has Been a First Officer for KLM for 21 Years
King Willem-Alexander, 50, said he has ended his role as a regular First Officer after 21 years on KLM's fleet of Fokker 70 planes. He will now retrain to fly Boeing 737s as the Fokkers are being phased out of service. (dailym.ai) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Already knew this; I thought it was common knowledge. Passengers on KLM City hoppers often enjoyed seeing who was in the cockpit.
That was a very nice gesture ð
Bravo!
well well, King Willem being instructed how to pilot the Boeing 737 now that Fokker is being phased out. The flying Dutchman will always stay alive .
The first twin engine Fokker was presented to queen Beatrix 40 years ago.
Soesterberg is a small upscale town where the King has his palace and is staffed by American Pilots using the F-15 Jet fighters. Do not worry, the King is well protected.

Camp New Amsterdam inactivated in 1994 & the entire base shut down in 2008.
I think King Hussein of Jordan (the current King's father) also did this but don't know if it was on a regular basis. That was with Alia Royal Jordanian Airlines.
