This is the new Redwing Zeppelin and part of Redwing’s 1930s scenery, which has to be bought separately

 

 

The airport is Berlin Tempelhof

 

 

 

Boy oh boy, this is sooo different from anything I have flown before

 

 

The whole city has been changed to the 1930s, so you won’t see any modern buildings and no high rise

 

 

 

Slowly approaching the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, the German Parliament building

 

And the Reichstag looks with its old roof structure exactly as it looked in those days

 

If you look at the shadow cast by the airship, the Brandenburg Gate seems really small

 

 

And that's it for now. Very interesting, but I certainly won't be crossing the pond with it in real time 😀😀

I forgot about this one - need to get!

Great set of shots, thanks for showing !

cheers 😉

Excellent photos!!! (As I going through each one, I thought the same thing..."You're not going to make any great distance in that airship!") Our lives have become so much more fast paced than just a few short generations before us.

That "time travel" scenery is just so fascinating! Beautiful shots!

Great set Bernd! 🙂 The Zeppelin looks fantastic, especially the inside views of the cockpit which is more like in a ship.

They must have done a lot of work to transform the entire city to the 1930's,

Marvelously nostalgic set of images, bernd...!

The Redwing folks are onto something quite impressive here, that has eluded our previous SIMS, though been often talked about ...

Many thanks my friends for your kind comments!!

You are absolutely right. Some thirty years ago I took the family on vacation for 3.5 to 4 weeks, every year without any issues. If my kids file for a vacation now that is longer than two weeks, they feel guilty. Over a hundred years ago our ancestors went on vacation not for four weeks but for two months. And there was no smart phone or internet to connect them with business at home. And the daily newspaper usually reached them two days later. Who lives a happier life? 🙂

Very nice shots! I've been tempted, but the repaint possibilities are so slim...

Easy to answer Bernd, we today are not on the happy side. The modern technology makes them all short of time.

Short of time to do something, short of time to react to something, short of time to create something and so on.

And at the end it's no advantage because to have some time alvailable has always been a gauge for happiness.

And regarding business it's not an advantage as well because you can make money as soon as your services are up to date.

Regardless what that meant in this or any time.

Wow, this is big news! In fact, 3 times longer than a 747!

 

This is the Zeppelin bar. The bartender is real and animated. The other 2 figures are just wallpaper painted on the wall for room ambience and customers' pleasure.

"Special event in premium version". I wonder what the special event is!
