Stillwater Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Inspired by the plane Mallard chose for his Tahoe sightseeing, I knew which one to take for the tour to Berlin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Airlift#The_start_of_the_Berlin_Airlift Climbing out of Hanover: Hmm, Wolfsburg is not looking like it did in 1948. But the Volkswagen works are still at the same place. Crossing the Elbe in Magdeburg: Potsdam and the lakes: A view over Berlin from the south: To the left there is the Olympic stadium of 1936, Tiergarten just before my nose, and the Alexanderplatz to the right. Approaching the only suitable airport: Tempelhof. At least in the sim it is still in operation. The city is under my right wheel. Tied down. In front of one of the longest buildings ever built: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempelhof_Airport Oh no, I forgot to drop the Candy for Kasi ....

Kasi31 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks for the (eye) Candy Gerold! In shot #5, you passed near where i live in Berlin. The "river" below the DC-3 must be the Teltowkanal and the building below the prop seems to be the Steglitzer Kreisel. Thanks for these beautiful shots!

Few years ago dc3 airways (www.dc3airways.com) recreated the Berlin Airlift with real time MP pilots and aircraft, plus fleets of AI aircraft to fill in the gaps. After that we flew Operation Varsity, using much of the same techniques.
