Last Flight of Captain Andy Zurhaar @ KLM

After a huge career of about 32 years Captain Andy Zurhaar made his retirementflight at KLM.

Together with First Officer Onno Veltkamp as his ‘Wingman’ he departed for Johannesburg as final destination/retourflight.

During 747 timeperiode it was called a ‘Joburgje’ when they did fly to JNB.

Flight KL591,stand F7 , departed during heavy fog.

When filming I only could hear them passing in takeoff and not see at all.

This flight was operated with our ‘Orange Pride’ , a B777-300ER reg PHBVA.

Backflight KL592 became a visible landing , happily.

With wet circumstances Andy got a smooth landing on RWY18R with beautiful wingvortexes.

Flight KL592 was operated with a B777-200 reg PHBQL , crossing the center at Whiskey 13 ,

right on Delta and left on Alpha ,taxying to final stand Echo 3.

Awesome detail is I captured them with the PHBVA parked at the Papa Buffer.
