SightCRR Posted March 24, 2020 #527 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I am thinking that the parents don't call often because they don't need to. They are world travelers who don't know or care what we want to know like if they made the flight or not. To them there will be another flight later. Hope they made this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ANGELCAT Posted March 24, 2020 #530 Share Posted March 24, 2020 While we’re waiting for an update on this flight and fingers crossed for a happy ending, Captain Albert has posted his update. The Rotterdam has left PV and is heading to meet the Zaandam with additional medical supplies to deal with her medical issues reported yesterday. Praying for a good outcome. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its a great spot for plane spotting from the top of the parking ramp at the main terminal and consistently one of the highest rated airports in the country. Mainly because of its design. Has been many upgrades from when it was originally built and getting more international flights. Especially Delta starting seasonal non stops to Amsterdam. Started last spring and stopped in Nov. Was supposed to start up again April 12th but not now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a very little girl, my uncle who was a teenager and wanted to be a pilot used to take me to BNA (Nashville) to watch the planes. I have fond memories. I was excited about the Amsterdam route. I hope it comes back. I'm in Tampa 3-4 times a year and was looking forward to that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjbean4 Posted March 24, 2020 #549 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Now we will wait to hear from Kindergirl to report in on if her parents were on this flight. Its a very short distance from the gate to the tram to the main terminal once they are off with the help. Then elevators down to baggage if they had any. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
