Re: EHAM 14-05-2009

Hi Martijn

Unfortunately not :cry: I need PH-CGC.

Thanks for the list of stuff on the Bravo Pier, I came in on PH-KZE from GVA and then outbound on PH-EZA to ABZ later on. Like the new KLM E190s, my first flights on them.

Don't suppose you know what was on the the east side about 1400?

Steve
