May 21, 20179 yr I was too busy flying 4 legs of the tour to post yesterday but now that PC-12 is all tucked in for a day or so, I'll finally get these up. Leg 9: After a day and a half of R&R and managing to avoid some of the major temptations in Amsterdam, it was time to continue the tour with the 9th leg taking me to Luxembourg. I got to EHAM around 8:00am local and had the engine wound up shortly after.
