A unique farewell of a unique colleague

You only realize a true expert is leaving your company when he leaves behind a custom-designed LEGO aircraft kit

In April 2025, after 10 years at ADSE, Aart Verbaas said goodbye and surprised us with a very special gift. Not only did he design a unique LEGO airplane, he also created a full building manual in aerospace style!

That means:

• The manual was titled 'Illustrated Parts Catalog',
• It had a document number and revision status,
• Every building step included the correct ATA-chapter,
• The cabin had a dedicated cabin attendant seat,
• Aart included rapid decompression aspects in his design,
• There was even an EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT INSTL step,
• The fuselage, engines and tail featured ADSE logos,
• And the aircraft had its own LEGO display stand!

We immediately had our experts assemble the model, and it’s now proudly on display in our office.

Dear Aart, besides your technical expertise, you were a fantastic colleague. We will miss your creativity, your skills to organize company trips, your role in the Works Council, and your quiz master talents during our Teams events during Corona.

Wishing you all the best at Fokker Services Group. Let's stay in touch!
