    Came across an article in a magazine concerning an ex-KLM Jumbo jet that was on itw way to an air museum as a permanent display. Unfortunately, the air museum is based at an old airport whose runway is too short for a Boeing 747 to land. Not to be put offf, the Dutch dismantled the sircraft put it on a barge and sent the plane through Amsterdam via the canal system Apparently, they have a special route for oversize loads. Bet a few people came out of the cafes thinking thinling that might have indulged on the local "smokes". Check it out here ...

    I would have thought that a 747 would be the last thing they would want to be reminded of. Remember that crash back on the Canaires/Azores that was the fault of the KLM captain and the Isreali cargo 747 that crashed into a block of flats..
