Visit to Amsterdam

I'll be in Amsterdam for a few days in late June. How can I arrange a flight with an instructor for sightseeing & photos?

Where do you want to sightsee and take photos? If above Amsterdam itself, this may be possible but as it is inside the EHAM CTR you may be refused entry if it doesn't fit in with the ATC plans for the day. There are several companies at both EHLE and EHHV offering instruction flights, but it sounds a bit like you're only looking for a sightseeing trip. What license do you hold yourself?

I'm sorry for the delayed reply. I now know my schedule. I arrive Amsterdam early June 19 & leave early on June 22. I could fly any of the first three days. I don't know where the field is from the city or how to get there, but could figure out transportation. Is there a way we can communicate directly (off list)? My email is [email protected].

I can't help you myself, so I would suggest getting in touch with this company: SPECIAL AIR SERVICES B.V.

E-mail address and phone numbers are at the top of the page. They offer sightseeing flights from Lelystad that might fit the bill.

I've emailed Special Air Services a few times and have no response. I guess I'll try to schedule a flight in another city on our vacation. Amsterdam doesn't seem to be working out for some reason.

We will be in Cologne for a few days. Perhaps there is a club or training facility there.

Thanks,

Larry
