Hi all.

My name is Jaap and I'm 70 years old.
I was born in the 1950's in Holland (hence my nick name Old Dutch)
Our family moved to Venezuela when I was 1 year old and we lived there for 9 years.
Guess I got bitten by the aviation bug in that period for we flew to The Netherlands a few times in the planes of that era: Constellation, DC-6 and -7.
Later, as a young man I worked for KLM Engineering and stayed with them untill my retirement.
As a hobby I got hooked on Flight Simulator and also tried some 3D modeling to make scenery items and aircraft for the game.
I'm not a wizzard with it but have great fun fiddling around

Cheers,
Jaap
