Day 2 - 1997-05-21

ATW Retro-blog (purely for Chris's benefit): 1997-05-21
Munster (DE) – Berlin Schönefeld (EDDB – DE)
233nm; 2h20; Cowan (962) / Hughes (833)

Delayed by WX until the afternoon, so just a hop to Schönefeld. A largely uneventful day, apart from their wx briefing that morning which was, allegedly, conducted by the most flamboyant meteorologist of the whole ‘Around The World’ trip: silver nail polish, long bouffant hairdo, earrings, gorgeous blouse and shining silk trousers rounded-off with chunky high heels. The overall image was somewhat tarnished by the fact that, having been on duty overnight, HE was badly in need of a shave!

[Hey, I'm not making this up!]



Day 2: EDDG-EDDB 233 nm, 2.33 hrs, GS 100 kts. Cumulative 663 nm, 7.25 hrs, Average GS 91 kts.
