Tomorrow I’ll have to go for a simulator check again. I wrote a blog before that I’ve worked at a Simulator company before called CAE. I think that is a good way to start this blog by telling a little bit about this before I write about the check itself. I worked as an operator …
This post was written on the 30th of May. Because so many things regarding this subject are changing I put a time stamp on it. At the moment I’m writing this from home (Netherlands). My last flight was about 2.5 months ago. I always thought I was good at sitting still being at home but nothing …
For the last 8 years, I made a “My Year” video. I usually finish it earlier in the new year but I got lazy and this Corona thing didn’t help either. 2019 was one of my most exciting years so far even if it doesn’t show in the video. I’ve done so many things. Lets …
I have been flying now for the last 11 years. Yes, I know that I’m getting old, you don’t need to tell me. Even with 11 years of flight experience the world still is able to amaze me. A while ago I was flying when I decided to put my camera up again so I …

I’m sitting on my bed thinking about how my future might look like? Usually, I don’t think about this too much but lately, I’m thinking about it anyway. I’ve started my aviation career very young. I was 20 when I finished flight school in 2009. So already 10 years ago. When I was a little guy I …
