7th October, the oldest still existing airline

[V12]

Repost from https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32243 :

Hello everyone,

I would like to propose an event to celebrate the oldest still existing airline, KLM.
For this event I would like to invite everyone to fly on the 7th of October this year to or from Schiphol Amsterdam (EHAM/AMS) in Flightgear.
Or just chat on the ground at EHAM. It would be best if you would use a KLM livery, but other liveries are welcome too.
I will be on the ground at EHAM or I will be ATC at EHAM that day.
If someone would be interrested, I have a KLM Orange Pride livery for the 777-300 series and the modern KLM livery for the 777 series.

It would be nice for ATC if you would leave your flightplan at Lenny's website: http://flightgear-atc.alwaysdata.net a few days before or at the day

Please reply if you have any suggestions or if you are planning on joining that day.

I'm ready :

For a Dutch person it is always nice to hear that KLM is the oldest airline still in existence. But i do wonder, because countries like England and France have also been active in aviation at an early stage. I mean, how do they count the years? Do they not take into account mergers? Is not Imperial Airways into BOAC into BA much older?

Kind regards, Vincent
