π³π±βοΈ 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 β a powerful symbol of freedom. During the war, Mr. Janicki met a Dutch woman, and years later, in 2002, they married β 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 memoriesβ¦ and of course, we captured this special moment with him.
Thank you, Mr. Janicki, for your service and your warmth. π
