I fly in my spare time out of Lelystad Airport. Hop in and share the cost of an unforgettable sightseeing flight. No commercial crew, just an enthusiastic pilot taking you up personally.
About me
Curious, entrepreneurial and always interested in how things work. I live and work in Amsterdam and fly myself in my free time. Flying combines two things I love: discovering new places and seeing the world from above.
I'm not a commercial pilot, and that's exactly the point. You fly along with me, in the aircraft I build my own hours in, on a day the weather allows it.

Valid pilot licence and medical certificate
Meet the aircraft
PH-SCT
Classic Cherokee looks with the rounded spinner and the original 1980s instrument panel. Great visibility from the left seat, my favourite for photos above the Amsterdam canal ring.
PH-VFE
The younger generation: streamlined cowling with a conical spinner, a more modern interior and an updated instrument panel. A little more comfortable on the longer routes towards Texel and the Wadden Sea.

View routeWork out roughly what a flight costs per person, based on the aircraft, the number of passengers and the flight time.
Indicative. The actual flight time determines the cost. At airfields other than Lelystad the landing fee may differ.
Pick your own destination
From Lelystad I can fly to almost anywhere in the Netherlands within my range (and a little beyond). No form, no booking system. You get me on the phone and we think through the route, timing and your share of the cost together.
See the custom flightI fly for pleasure, not commercially. The flight only goes ahead in clear, good weather.
I fly visually. That means I need good weather: enough visibility and a high enough cloud base. In daylight, without low cloud and without thunderstorms.
If the weather is in doubt I decide at the latest 12 uur in advance whether the flight goes ahead. If we cancel because of weather, we simply agree on a new date. For your safety a flight never departs when conditions aren't good enough.
The upside: that's exactly why the view is so good. By definition you fly on a clear day.
Current flying weather
Live weather reports from the airfields along our routes. Visibility, wind and cloud decide whether we can fly visually. This is exactly what I look at myself.
