Tag #18667 - Fly into ... Amsterdam

In the first instance 50 will be made. They will be left at places as a sign of appreciation. Others will be placed in well done caches. If you want to trade, please use your wishlist or contact me.

This Pathtag may be kept, used as a gift or placed in a cache again - it depends on what you would like to do.

Second tag of the series. For now they consist of five:
#18667 Amsterdam www.schiphol.nl
#18668 Copenhagen
#18669 Innsbruck
#18670 Munich
#18671 Sydney
plus a kind of map:
#18757 EUROPE

More might follow.
If you come across one: They are made to be kept or travel, but not to be sold on ebay-like websites.

The tags are a fun project, depicting some of the airports which saw me many, many times during the past years.
No special reason for having them made.
Initially the idea was to keep the scale the same for all tags. No good idea, because compared to e.g. Amsterdam Schiphol the Innsbruck one would hardly be visible. And how would future editions fit?
However, per tag location, lengths and distances are on scale.
The colors were chosen following the official PMS-colors for either the national flags or other national colors (to avoid doubling). With some of the tags the original idea proved not to be feasible 1:1. Might be a reason for reconsidering different plating for (maybe) future re-orders. Not sure yet, a limited edition 50 has also its charms for both creator and collectors. We'll see.
