  • Sister City Flights - week 3 - Kiel (Germany) - "Many Birthplaces"



    Kiel became Brest's first Sister City in 1964. Kiel is "Sailing City" and annually hosts Kiel Week, the largest sailing event in the world. This week we visit Many Birthplaces - of things, ideas, organizations and people - spanning more than 1,500 years.

    Reminder - and trivia questions! Join us tonight at 9pm in SimLink (FSX, P3D, XP11) at EDCP Peenemünde for our 110kt Germanic jaunt.

    Trivia questions:
    1. (easy) What breed of dog is associated with where we start our flight?
    2. (medium) Why is Lufthansa especially connected to our flight?
    3. (hard) What links a bald eagle, a crowned swan (below), our flight tonight, and your flight lead?
    Answers during the flight only please (not below!).

        Evening approach to Lübeck airport, flying past the German A20 section of the E22 highway (one of the longest designated highways in Europe, running from Holyhead in Wales, UK, to Ishim in Tyumen Oblast, Russia, a total of 3,310 miles).




        Sunset approach to Kiel airport, over Kieler Förde, with the city and Fernmeldeturm Kiel just visible.
