 The initial time Jasmijn van Waalwijk van Doorn went with her pilot father, Jorrit van Waalwijk van Doorn, to work was a memorable day.

It was 2006. Eight-year-old Jasmijn joined Jorrit on a KLM flight going from their nation of origin of the Netherlands to Uganda.

Pilot Jorrit fled 767 there and back. Jasmijn and her mom Ellen were travelers. Before the trip to Uganda took off, Ellen snapped a photo of her significant other and little girl in the cockpit.

In the photograph, Jorrit's gripping the controls, Jasmijn is grasping a cherished lion toy. She has one arm around her dad. Both are grinning generally.

Slice to 2019. Jorrit and Jasmijn by and by ended up in a plane cockpit together. It was one more day to recollect. This time round, Jasmijn wasn't a traveler - she was a certified KLM pilot, flying close by her father interestingly.

At the point when Jasmijn gathered her bag that morning, she'd made a point to incorporate the darling lion toy among her effects. Then, before the flight took off, Jasmijn and Jorrit reproduced the photograph from more than 10 years already.

Once more jorrit grasped the controls and Jasmijn gripped the lion toy. Both grinned gladly. The fundamental distinction between the photographs? The now grown-up Jasmijn is wearing a KLM pilot uniform. Furthermore, just after the photograph was taken, Jasmijn got behind the controls, prepared to fly the Boeing 777 to Hong Kong.

It was Jasmijn's mom Ellen who proposed her significant other and little girl reproduce the 2006 photograph.

"She said, 'We have that image of you two in the cockpit. Why not take the toy once more, and take a similar picture once more?'" Jasmijn tells CNN Travel. "I was glad that I actually had the toy since having that picture is so extraordinary."

"It got going as something great," Jorrit tells CNN Travel. "However, seeing the two pictures together, then, at that point, and now was great."

Growing up with avionics

The 2006 trip to Uganda was the first of ordinarily youthful Jasmijn went with Jorrit on flights. Jasmijn recollects how energizing it was going on a safari and spotting lions that looked like her darling cuddly toy. Eight-year-old Jasmijn fell head over heels for voyaging - and afterward, after some time, she became hopelessly enamored with flying.

"That is the manner by which I landed to know the position - and where it began," says Jasmijn.

At the point when Jasmijn was growing up, Jorrit flew intercontinental trips for KLM. He was frequently away for a few days. On the off chance that he could carry Jasmijn and her kin with him, he would.

"You can put resources into your relationship with your child, and she can see what you're doing. And afterward it's more typical for her," he says. "We'd continuously do pleasant things on courses."

Jasmijn's mom Ellen is an airline steward, so flying professionally was "ordinary" to Jasmijn growing up.

"It's not just a direct result of my father that I'm keen on flying," she says.

Jasmijn tried to be a pilot since the beginning. At 12, she had her most memorable flying illustration. Matured 14, she left on a floating course.

When she was in secondary school, Jasmijn was set on her vocation way.

"That is the point at which it became serious," she says today. "I thought, 'This is my fantasy, I need to be a pilot.'"
