Leon (53), Gerrit Meerman, 2017 photograph I had to practice at least 1000 hours to fly with it". As a fifteen -year -old, Leon wanted nothing more than to become a pilot and went to the Air Force at the age of seventeen. However, because he did not have the right prior education, he started working there as a cook. At that time he also showed his skill in refining defense equipment. Leon now has its own sailmaker in which a collection of shooting chairs (30 pieces) and pilot equipment (72 pieces) is housed that he himself has restored. The cockpit of a real F104 Starfighter, which he has also completely restored, has been converted into a flights simulator. Leon first had to practice evenings to just be able to taxi, then definitely another 1000 hours to fly. Now he practices every Sunday evening and carries real pilot gloves, which makes flying a lot harder.
