I bet that the Greens in the German parliament are already climbing the walls on this issue - and I'm struggling to disagree with them.
You remember Volker Rühe, Secretary of defense - same issue, Chopper flying from EDDK to to EDDH to get the gentlemen IIRC from the airport to his living quarters on a Friday, chopper ferried back to EDDK only to go back on Monday morning. Or the Challenger that turned around on the Azores fuel stop, which was intended to pax around Misses Künast and Mr.Trittin in Brasilia, because Brasil has no good enough private planes. Both from the green party.
