Welcome to the Oldjets online magazine. My name is Jan Koppen, and I am the moderator of this site. I'm an aviation-enthusiast since 1974. During those days, the first-generation turbojet-powered airliners ruled the skies!
I am working in the Aviation industry at Amsterdam Schiphol International airport since 1985 and have seen many aircraft types and cargo operators come and go! The days of ear-splitting engine noise and trailing black exhaust smoke are sadly long gone. Magnificent airliners such as Boeing 707s, DC8s and VC-10s have already vanished from the skies.

For who?
Oldjets internet website/magazine is the place for admirers or keen observers of these elegant swept-wing airliners. This website will be paying tribute to these fine American, British, and Russian exotic aircraft designs.
I want to feature my private photo collection and articles, but at the same time, I would like to invite you to submit your articles, trip reports, and pictures, which will be featured on this site.
You do not have to be a professional journalist to have your article featured here, and I only ask that it is well written and of interest to our worldwide audience. A report can be about:
· Flying experience
· Accident/incidents
· Trip Reports
Submit your article
Sounds interesting? Please submit your article and photos to illustrate your article. I will take care of the layout and other web-related issues.
Please send a short mail to jankoppen@quicknet.nl, describing the subject you would like to write about. Once you've received a confirmation that the subject is okay, you can start sending the article and pictures.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Jan Koppen

This site is dedicated in memory of my friend Ber Beentjes, who died far too young.
Ber, who has been working for Fokker and Airbus Industries, has always been a passionate VFW-614 fan.
