I saw this plane at Tegel Airport: If I owned airBerlin, I would make sure that anytime Klaus Wowereit were flying on my airline he’d be flying on this very airplane.
Somewhere between Newark and Houston I snapped this picture of America.
On Christmas Day in Mobile a tornado ran through town. What’s amazing about tornadoes is how localized the damage is. Right across the street from these buildings is a modern, flimsy gas station that looked like nothing had happened.
Why on earth are you going to Handy, Alabama?
I hear Cellphone, Mississippi is splendidly tornado-free this time of year.
About that plane: of course it’s Europe’s most modern airport. They’re doing their best to make sure it doesn’t get damaged by pesky passengers, either.
J – Unlike you, I love Germany 364 (or, this year, 365) days a year. The one day I do not love Germany, is New Year’s Eve, so I am in Handy, Alabama, meeting friends in order to celebrate the arrival of 2013.
ian – I like your explanation about Europe’s most modern airport. Too bad it’s going to kill airBerlin, because while airBerlin isn’t my first choice, it helps keep Lufthansa honest on intra-European pricing, and I will happily fly them if there is no Lufthansa/Star Alliance alternative.
