No doubt you are concerned. I have a family member who was in the industry for a lifetime. There where very stressful periods like the first Gulf war, 9/11 ect. I suppose none of those came close to this current situation. However, I flew between Geneva and Schiphol the other day on completely full plane.

At least you get more time to admire this iconic watch. Safe flight.

How in the world can airlines even afford to move such few passengers? It had to cost more to taxi down the runway than they made on those flights.

At least we can profit from seeing a Speedmaster in its born environment. Many thanks for sharing your photos. Good luck for your job and keep safe with distanciation.
