Amsterdam Aviation Fair 2018 was PURE HEAVEN for models

For serious travel agent display model collectors, the 2018 Amsterdam Aviation Fair was pure heaven, as it was loaded with high quality aircraft models, the likes which I have not seen at a show in decades.

The 2018 Amsterdam Aviation Fair was held at the Van der Valk hotel at Schiphol Airport on February 25, 2018.
It was truly an amazing show for model collectors as the numbers of models exceeded the numbers of models at any US show (including the annual Airliners International show which has so few models in recent years) or even the famous Frankfurt show at Schwanheim held every November.

For models at Amsterdam we had three major European collectors bringing large displays of models offered for sale and trade, two from the Netherlands and one from Belgium. Of course there were many other models at other tables as well, so the serious collector had to plan and budget his/her purchases accordingly so as not to get in over one's head.

The show featured over 200 tables and 1000+ plus attendees through the doors on foot, which makes the Amsterdam Aviation Fair one of the world’s biggest airline collectibles shows that I am aware of! It certainly rivals or exceeds the size of some of the US national Airliners International Conventions, which were until now considered the grand-daddy of airline hobby shows.

I'd like to offer my thanks to Patrick van Rooijen and his team for staging such an amazing event! For show details please visit http://aviationfair.com
