Herren aus den Foren zu flugzeugforum.de, begrüßen. Vielen Dank für den Verkehr, und wenn Sie irgendwelche Fragen haben, fragen Sie bitte. Mein Deutsch ist furchtbar rostig, aber ich werde tun, was ich kann, um alle Fragen für mich zu beantworten. Nun, ich werde für den Rest meiner Leser zurückschalten auf Englisch, die wahrscheinlich gerade jetzt ein bisschen verwirrt! ;)
The worst parts of the trip to Germany were having to leave that amazing country again, and the flight over. A little free travel trip. NEVER TAKE DELTA. Definitely not if you have to connect through Atlanta, as you may well never reach your destination. After a bit of trials and tribulation that involved Delta making us miss our connection to Stuttgart THAT WAS STILL ON THE TARMAC, I turned a bit Hulk and browbeat a poor Delta employee into getting myself and my parents on a flight to Dublin, with a later connection into Stuttgart. Because there is no way in hell I was going to spend the night in the Atlanta airport.
All that "fun" done, we arrived in Germany and headed for our rental house in Winnenden, which is honestly the closest thing I have to a hometown. Being there brought back a lot of memories, most too personal to go into depth nin on this public forum, which is not why you guys read this thing anyway.
So, in order to not make this one blog massive, I'm going to split the trip up into smaller bits, and do it in no particularly chronological order at all.
We all know I love aviation, especially American and Russian military, and nowhere on Earth do the two reside side by side better than in Germany, and most especially, at the splendid Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim outside München. They had everything to make this aviation geek happy, from Early Age biplanes through to the Eurofighter EFA 2000 Typhoon. But why just tell you, when I can SHOW you??
