hi everybody, I had the pleasure to fly with D-AQUI in may, my missus showed up with two tickets for a roundflight over Munich 🙂

as JDK said the pilot explained me that the new reg is due to weight issues, but I wonder what the details are (any german friend can help?).

Lufthansa made a specific webpage where they also publish the calendar of flights available for booking, the yummiest one being the visit to Flying Legends! 😀

Cheers!

i was very intrigued by the Rheintochter since i saw it in Cosford! It’s an incredible early SAM system with a two stages radio controlled rocket. The wingtips of the main stage had flares installed so that the launch director could see the rocket better and direct it to the target. There are other missiles like the Enzian, u can find a lot of info on the Internet or if u happen to make a quick hop to Cosford 😉 what’s really interesting is how rudimental the materials used were!! Iron, wood and similar for a radio controlled rockets!

A relatively minor point, considering the flak that’s flying around about this aircraft, but I didn’t know that swastikas were banned in Italy too.

I suppose it’s understandable when you think about it, but I hadn’t…

oh yes, even the symbols related to fascism are officially forbidden here… a friend of mine who took an old F.L.3 trainer back to the sky and wanted to paint it with Regia Aeronautica colors had to go to the museum and make sure nobody would have bothered him if he had the original insignas on.. this kinda stuff is really annoyin on the long run..
