Interesting trip. Good-looking destination.

Great shots Bernd. Lovely plane, and there's something about Pan-Am, isn't there? I guess it's because it was the glam image back around the growing up days for a lot of us.

Absolutely, Andy. I never forget, I did my first business flight across the Atlantic on a Pan Am 742. When I checked in at Frankfurt, I told the guy behind the counter that this was my first flight on a Pan Am 747. He answered that he should then make this flight most memorable for me and upgraded me from business to first class 🙂

D4mn! I wish I'd tried that on some of my flights back then. I must have spent several actual months of my life crushed up in cattle class. I think I only ever had two upgrades in ten or twelve years of travelling. Guess I just must have looked scary or undesirable company or something <grin>
