November 25, 20232 yr It’s early morning as we prepare for departure with D-ALIN D-ALIN gained fame, as our first chancellor Konrad Adenauer flew with this plane to Moscow in Sept. 1955 (his first visit to Russia ever) to successfully negotiate ten years after WWII the release of over 100.000 POWs from Russian prison camps When he entered the flightdeck on this flight, Adenauer hit his head at the door frame, so the captain was wiping off some blood from his forehead Above Macau The Ha Long Bay looks better in real life We have reached Yangoon Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River, which is of course not blue Along the Malaysian East Coast near Terengganu Meanwhile we have reached Singapore Thanks for viewing Edited November 25, 20232 yr by bernd1151 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

November 26, 20232 yr When I saw the first picture I thought "I knew that deliveries of new planes to Lufthansa are delayed, but I did not know they still use such old iron." Maybe I am too biased by their permanent cost savings. Then I read your fantastic history lesson. Learnings on a Sunday! And then I enjoyed the beauty of the Connie. What a fantastic design...
