Last Flight of Captain Rob de Boer @ KLM

Captain Rob de Boer made his last flight due to retirement at KLM.

Together with First Officer Dimitri and Second Officer Justin as ‘Wingmen’ and heading for lovely destination San Francisco.

This was orchestrated by his good friend Captain Hein Kuipers. Hein got his own retirementflight to PBM last February.
