@Dissent3R , yet another update, most of the 747 aircraft are done however I still have to do some modifications for the different sub types and engine options, the 747-8 is not finished as well.
It might take a little longer than usual because I’m currently travelling
@Dissent3R A little update on the 747, the 747-100 with JT9D’s is almost finished, the CF6 engines are finished as well, I still have to make the RB211’s for the 747 classic, however I think that those will be done relatively quickly.
I might be able to publish the first 747’s today or tomorrow.
@Dissent3R , A little update, the flaps are done and the wings will be done after I add the flap supports and spoilers. I’m currently working on the JT9D-7A’s and will work on the RB211’s and CF6’s after that.
When the engines are finished, I only have to do the landing gear, the windows, exterior lights and doors and the 747-100 will be finished. This also means that with some minor modifications the 747-200 will be finished as well.
However it might take a little longer than usual because I have finals right now.
I edited the post as well so you can see the current progress.
@Dissent3R yeh it was, between 2018 and 2019 I had the opportunity to fly on them 6 times. Return AMS-YYZ, AMS-HKG and AMS-ICN. Those aircraft were true beauties.
I had PH-BFY (747-400M) to HKG and PH-BFW (747-400M) back to AMS.
I had PH-BFB (747-400 and at that time the oldest 747-400 in service) to YYZ and PH-BFH (747-400M) back home.
And finally I had PH-BFY again to ICN and PH-BFT (747-400M) back home.
Fun little fact about PH-BFB, the aircraft was named “The city of Bangkok”, on it’s first flight (which was to Bangkok), KLM received a plaque from the city of Bangkok which was hanged next to the stairs onboard of the aircraft.
When the aircraft retired it was put on display at the Corendon hotel next to Amsterdam Schiphol airport. As for the plaque, from what I’ve heard it was returned home to Bangkok, where it hangs in the KLM Bangkok office today.
@Dissent3R Also a fun fact about the 747 (which might just cause me to have to make 2 extra 747-400’s, the 747-400ERF only has the CF6 or PW4000 engines), the 747-400F/ERF do not have an extended upper deck but rather the same upper deck as the 747-100 and they have the same upper deck door placement as the -100.
The 747-400BCF is a converted freighter and therefore has the same upper deck as the 747-400.
I decided not to build the 747-200SUD as it is externally basically the same as the 747-300.
@Dissent3R yeh the A330 is basically only more efficient because of the wings, which are thinner and therefore produce less drag…..and have a lower lift coefficient, so yeh I always way that the A330 is Airbus’s rushed response to the 767 by slapping the same engines under shit wings, reusing the fuselage of the A300 (where the windows curve up at the end because the floor is raised to allow an extra cargo container to be loaded). (The windows still curve up on the a330ceo/a330neo and the a340)
If you didn’t notice before, I just have the slightest preference to Boeing.
@Dissent3R yeh it’s a fun lil fact, the CF6 is a real workhorse, it is also the best argument to shutdown Airbus diehard fans talking about how great the A330 while they bash the MD11, 767 and 747.
As the A330 is also powered by a variant of the CF6.
I still have to make the engines for the 747-100/200/300, the engines of the 747-400 are all done as they are the same as on the 767. (Fun fact, the 767 and 747-400 where on development at the same time, therefore Boeing made it so that the engines are interchangeable between the two planes).
The CF6 on the 747-100/200/300 has the same blade count as the CF6 on the 747-400, but the outside of the engine is a different shape, I still have to look into the blade count of the older RB211, otherwise I can just reshape the RB211 if they have the same blade count.
@Dissent3R , do you have any tips for thumbnail pictures, I’m kinda running out of locations (as I don’t have Maywar on iPadOS) and I’m running out of ideas.
@CSTIJN The same applies to Australia.
There were so many Dutch people who went to Australia that it actually kinda made an impact on the Australians people.
Dutch and Australian folks have a lot in common, when we are in a bar or out in a foreign country (often) we tag along with the Australians or they tag along with us.
It’s always fun
@Solent yup, 10000 every year, to thank the Canadians, we have never forgotten what they did for us.
There are also a lot of people who migrated to Canada after the war, so in The Netherlands it’s not that uncommon to hear that someone has family in Canada.
This post is also to commemorate the 80 year anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands.
Canadian troops have played a major role in the liberation of the Netherlands, for which we Dutch people are still grateful.
The Dutch royal family also fled to Canada during the war, and when a princes was about to be born in Canada, the Canadian government turned that piece of the hospital temporarily into international territory, so the princess would be a Dutch citizen.
In 1945, after the liberation, the Dutch royal family send 100000 tulip bulbs to Ottowa to thank the Canadian government and the Canadian people for their support.
Every year since The Netherlands sends 10000 tulip bulbs to Ottowa.
You can see the Tulips that were send to Canada during the Canadian Tulip Festival.
@keiyronelleavgeek566 we Dutchies are still really greatfull for the actions of Canadians and the Canadian government during the war.
Dutch people also really like Canadian folks.
@keiyronelleavgeek566 I was thinking about publishing a Canadian livery on the 6th of May to pay tribute to Canada’s role in liberating the Netherlands in WW2, how would you feel about an Air Canada livery?
(Liberation day is may 5th however the upload schedule is already at 3 planes for that day)
Today is May 4th, May 4th and 5th are special days in The Netherlands.
On may 4th we remember all who have fallen in the Second World War either fighting for freedom or due to prosecution, not only in the Netherlands but in all of Europe.
We also remember those who have fallen in the Asian theater of WW2.
We also remember all of those who died while participating in peace operations where the Netherlands participated in and all other victims of war.
We honor them with 2 minutes of silence at 20:00, one minute of silence is for those who have fallen, the other minute of silence is for those who have returned but suffered the consequences of war for years to come.
At 20:00 the whole country is silent, no flights are allowed to depart or arrive, people pull over their cars on the highway, radiostations go silent and bars and restaurants stop their service while all of the guests go silent.
On may 5th we celebrate freedom while remembering that freedom is something that is fragile.
Freedom is celebrated with festivals with artists which are ambassadors of freedom, the festivals are almost always free or low priced and the government subsidizes them.
The artists which are the ambassadors of freedom, each share the stories from people who have been in conflict zones to underline the fact that freedom is fragile.
We also invite the veterans from the allied forces to the Netherlands to celebrate the freedom, which they have brought us, with us.
Especially the Canadian veterans have a special place in our hearts, as they have liberated us and the actions of the Canadian government, who turned a piece of a Canadian hospital into International territory so that a Dutch princess could be born and receive the Dutch nationality. For that we send tulips to Canada every year since the end of the war.

@Dissent3R , @Solent , I am currently working on the BAe146-family, as well as a celebratory livery (currently working on one which I will release as soon as I hit gold).

@Dissent3R yeh, I had the luck to fly on the 747-400’s a couple of time before KLM phased them out, so I studied them quite a bit.
@Dissent3R Also the CF6 on the 747-300 is the same as the CF6 on the 747-400
@Dissent3R Also a fun fact about the 747 (which might just cause me to have to make 2 extra 747-400’s, the 747-400ERF only has the CF6 or PW4000 engines), the 747-400F/ERF do not have an extended upper deck but rather the same upper deck as the 747-100 and they have the same upper deck door placement as the -100.

+1@Dissent3R alright, the 747 is progressing pretty nicely as however the wings are and the flaps in particular are a challenge.
@Dissent3R , do you have any tips for thumbnail pictures, I’m kinda running out of locations (as I don’t have Maywar on iPadOS) and I’m running out of ideas.
