What the pilot didn’t know is that fireworks were banned in Holland this year to discourage COVID spread (that well known COVID vector of gunpowder?) so there shouldn’t have been much to see. That and that Amsterdam is famously one of the most noise constrained airports in Christendom.
When all is open again he should just rent a GA local airplane and fly the Amsterdam sector. At 1000ft over the inner city is quite an experience.
