This airport is called Tempelhof, it is quite active, and if you watch carefully, you will see a big building in a shape of 1/4 of a circle, in the north west of the area.

Bob – do you mean this place? Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth It does have planes up in the North West of the field on the white tarmac – quite a few actually. Although I don’t know anything about the airport itself, it certainly appears quite active.

Take a look at the airfield to the west, two parallel runways, a lorge concrete embankment and road around the entire field but no planes parked or facilities. Anybody have any idea what’s up with this place?

I think the opening scene of the famous Leni Reifensteil film ‘Triumph of the Will’ shows a important historical figure (who we are not allowed to mention) arriving in a Ju-52.
You would have to pay me to get up in a 60 year old plane – but i suppose that its still flying after 60 years shows they were doing something right.

Norhtern Git, apparently that’s a [Junkers Ju-52][2] (”Tante Ju”) that is used today for [commemorative flights][3].

Is that plane flying?
It looks like it is on display- maybe something to do with the building next to it?

These yellow trains are Placemark: all / Google Earth Placemark: over / Google Earth Placemark: the place! / Google Earth What a public transport system!

There’s also a PLANE Placemark: here / Google Earth, and more trains to the near west. Those Germans love their transportation!
