Remarks: Dedicated to my friend Vatsal Shah, who had requested me to get a shot of a KLM bird back in October, but I had then only managed a shot of The Flying Dutchman . 'City of Hongkong' gets all set for a long flight back to AMS! I always wonder if KLM Asia is a subsidiary of the KLM group?
Remarks: KLM 785 from Amsterdam, operated today by the City of Hong Kong, glides over a (very) overcrowded Maho Beach, catching a burst of sunlight on an otherwise fairly cloudy afternoon. Six cruise ships called at the port of St. Maarten on this Tuesday, and watching the action at "The Princess" is one of the most popular activities for ship passengers on the island; in fact, a bus delivering another load of "spotters for the day" can be seen arriving in the background.
