Comment by @Ayan on Ypenburg Airbase, Netherlands:

I live in Ypenburg, built where there was a military airport until 1990. The air control tower is still there at the end of my street as monument and memory to the old airfield, and many street names refer to airports or aviation.

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Rotterdam Airport, Netherlands:

Rotterdam airport is interest for private pilots, as it has commercial (mainly 737, F27) and GA (business and private) traffic. There are a number of flying clubs based there, one of which is the largest in the Netherlands with 20 aircraft.

Comment by @MathFox on Rotterdam Airport, Netherlands:

I used to work here (landside, at a business totally unrelated to aviation). As an airport it's nice (much smaller than Schiphol) and pretty efficient; while working flight crew members walking by the window and the smell of jet fuel were the biggest reminders of being at an airport.
