A few years ago I had to go to Amsterdam for KLM to do some troubleshooting of a EMI problem they were having with one of our Video Entertainment displays. When I walked into the KLM service hanger, here was this Gigantic 747 partially dismantled for an overhaul and update of passenger cabin..Quite impressive. I got a ride up to the top of the body in a Cherry Picker to inspect the blade antennas and also got to take a few shots from the top of the tail. A very impressive airplane and also equally impressive is the amount of dismantling that takes place during maintenance work. They took whole sections out of the fuselage at these updates and maintenance stops. I'll have to try and dig up some of my shots. gene
