"ALM" - A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT AIRLINE !

[otrabanda1]

Recordar es vivir!

ALM may have ceased to exist but will never be forgotten.

I am certain that many us complained that it was Altijd Laat Maatschappij but...

we were proud of the company and would rather fly with them than with another airline.

[scoanad]

mooie video,toch jammer dat alm niet meer bestaat ik was zelf een van de passagiers op een alm vlucht ik noemde alm altijd de altijd laate luchtvaart maatschappij maar als je in het vliegtuig zat was al dat wachten vergeten.

[AlexAlberto]

Danki Amigo! Bon Bini...!

[twinpilot1966]

Very nice tribute to company that motivated me to become a pliot, those colors are something I would always remember.

[AlexAlberto]

[TheFsManProductions]

...... why the hell did they spill wine on plane and everyone was clapping?

is that what we use instead of water now?

[MD11pushback]

that is champagne and they are christening that plane because its the first MD80 of ALM

[misteralves1]

Great pa mira e ABC commuter, e super 80 i vooral e AMSTEL di nos mes( ku tampoko no tey mas).

Leuk rekuerdo senjor A.Alberto. Danki.
