And here goes the Queen of the Netherlands returning home again after having spent about a week in the Dutch Caribbean. Also on board this aircraft is her son and future King of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange Willem Alexander Claus George Ferdinand and his wife, Princess Maxima. This is also an unusual very early take-off. Maybe the pilots just wanted to impress the Royal Dutch Family on board the aircraft by doing a (very) powerful take-off. Or... the flight was half empty.
