I really liked the opening of this program. Really BOSS, even though I don’t understand much German. It would get me to study German more. If I were watching this back then, I would look forward to this show. Too bad this only went for one season.
Very interesting video, a somewhat different vision of a country in the socialist orbit in the seventies and eighties . Interflug had a weekly service between Germany and Mexico. Wednesdays were a very special day at the Mexico City International Airport, that day you could observe the operation of the IL-62 of Cubana, Aeroflot, Checzlovak and Interflug. After just over a year of flying to Mexico City with the Il-62, Interflug operated the Airbus A310-300, curious to see a Western aircraft operated by a socialist country. Another curious case is that the Interflug crew spent the night in Havana, the route was Berlin-Shannon-Havana-Mexico City, and the crews only flew Havana-Mexico City, but the plane stayed almost 3 hours in Mexico and if you saw the crew walking and buying various things at the airport. Even in front of the terminal, there was a supermarket owned by the Mexican pilots' union, where they sold everything very cheap, and the crews from various countries such as Cubana, Interflug, Nicaragua, etc. They bought basic necessities.
Really? Was that true? I’m not saying you’re lying or anything like that. Just that, wow, I didn’t even know that. Very interesting to know. Did they fly straight from Shonefeld to Mexico City, or did they stop in Havana to refuel?
Это историческое авиашоу или ещё реальная дальняя стратегическая авиация России? Нет, не спорю, лётная годность может поддерживаться и 50 и 60 лет. Вон Роллс-Ройс для В-52 новую двигательную спарку разрабатывает. Но там не только двигатели, там и авионика и РЛО уже самые современные. А это что??? Боже мой, в 21 веке реально вот с этим оборудованием можно ещё на что-то рассчитывать? А на земле-то вообще катастрофа, 60-е годы прошлого столетия!
Obraz muzealnej technologii. Radary (w tym te lotniskowe - jakaś makabra!!!), silniki, kompletny brak awioniki, potwornie hałaśliwe śmigła przeciwbieżne - wszystko to i cała masa drobniejszych anachronizmów czyni rosyjskie lotnictwo strategiczne kompletnie niegroźnym - taki samolot można zestrzelić z procy... Te samoloty powinny zostać jak najgłębiej utajnione, żeby wstydu nie było...
On the other side of the Iron Curtain if NATO countries copied this this East German TV programme the following will happen British Airways version for United Kingdom West Germany Lufthansa TWA Pan Am American Northwest Airlines united Delta Airlines US Air France France Benelux KLM & Sabena Italy Alitalia Spain Iberia Nordic countries Scandinavian Airlines Icelandair and Turkey Turkish Airlines. If one were to choose this East German carrier Interflug between United States Pan Am West Germany Deutsche Lufthansa British Airways United Kingdom which one would come on top?
