Swissair LX5200

[Derfred]

Why is Swissair LX5200 flying all over northern Germany at FL150?

Might be out on an air test. Doesn't to have flown for the last three weeks, so presumably undergoing maintenance.

Swissair??!

They haven't flown for almost 20 years, never mind three weeks

[treadigraph]

I still think of them as Swissair....

If they were still flying, it would be a big plus.

I knew you'd add something to the conversation, Dave!

Except that Swiss is what was Crossair - not Swissair.

On the legal side, yes, but on the operational and commercial sides, Swiss is what Swissair was.

And, since no one has mentioned it, today's version (of Crossair) is called Swiss International Airlines.
