I have flown into all except three of the Civil airfields in Holland, one of which is Schipol. With the exception of Eindhoven, which we shall not talk about, I found most of them very welcoming, with great facilities, and a huge amount of GA, despite the expense of getting airbourne here! Admittedly, the fact that in less than two years I have managed to visit all except three speaks volumes about the low number of airports; I really miss the uncontrolled farm strip type of flying in the UK. Every airport here is controlled.

I really hope that we can keep the great GA locations that we do have here; a day spent at Texel watching the skydivers from the cafe is a nice way to spend a summer Sunday, and flying in and out of Rotterdam amongst the 737s is a great experience.
