🇳🇱✈️ An unforgettable moment on board!
We had the honour of flying Mr. Nick Janicki (101), a Canadian WWII veteran who helped liberate Deventer and took part in Operation Market Garden. Today, on 5 May, we celebrate Liberation Day and 80 years of freedom here in the Netherlands. At midnight, Mr. Janicki lit the Liberation Flame in Wageningen — a powerful symbol of freedom. During the war, Mr. Janicki met a Dutch woman, and years later, in 2002, they married — a beautiful story that reminds us how history can shape lives in unexpected ways. Our crew had the chance to hear some incredible stories and memories… and of course, we captured this special moment with him.
Thank you, Mr. Janicki, for your service and your warmth. 💙
