Stillwater Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I will start my exploration of GermanySouth in Cologne - "Kölle" as the locals say. Getting ready at my home airport... ... and off to the east. The small squared lake below the belly may be quite famous, since a well-known man was staying there for some days in 2016. But we go on and turn to the right over the Altwarmbüchener See. Travelling in style. The Sauerland around Winterberg. Whenever I was there it was winter. And the mountains covered with snow. ATC had instructed us to use runway 24. An unusual choice, especially on a cloudy day like this: We came in very high, and had to circle before we could land slow enough for this short strip. And now for one local beer. Those who have been in Cologne know what this "one" means... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lars Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 This is a very, very good post. Good that you inserted the photo of Denzel Washington or else I'd have never guessed who stayed at the "squared lake". When I took off in Cologne (in RL) this spring the aircraft taxied until it had passed almost half of the runway, to A3 I think, waiting for a small jet to land at 06. Then it finally entered 14L and took off. I felt aliviated that we made it to the sky finally. But 14L is long, there must have been approx. 2km left.

I was expecting one of the longer runways, but PRO-ATC made it more challenging... Denzel Washington has made a lot of great media action, I like him. 4 hours ago, Bermuda425 said: Unique selection of shots! Your titles are almost always a real eyecatcher! Thanks Bermuda.

And you british, too. 2 hours ago, lifejogger said: Super shots and flight!!!!!! But I thought the guy in the fourth shot was Morgan Freeman. Thanks John. Morgan Freeman has also made great entertainment, did you see his 2017 movie "going in style"? 1 hour ago, flyingleaf said: A+ Gerold.
