Citizens of the Airport #25 – The Next Generation

I like to think of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol as a village, inhabited by millions of people for not more then a few hours per day max. But who are the people that pass through? What makes them tick? I’m on a quest to meet the Citizens of the Airport!

Boy:

“My mother bought me this suit. I want to be a pilot.”

Grandmother:

“It was his greatest wish to spend a day at Schiphol. We’re just visiting, you see. The tie is real, by the way, it belongs to his father.”

Boy:

“We went in the cockpit.”

Grandmother:

“He means the aircraft cabin at the aeroplane shop. We spent an hour-and-a-half there.”

Boy:

“I flew in a plane once.”

Grandmother:

“You were very small then. He can’t remember anything about it.”

Boy:

“I went in a pretend plane once too.”

Grandmother:

“He means the Aviodrome aviation museum. And what are we going to do now?”

Boy:

“Eat aeroplane pancakes!”
