Farewell Tempelhof!

Last Thursday saw the last flights from Berlin's historic Tempelhof airport.

The last major commercial airliner flight was by Cirrus.

For a full history of this famed airport - please go here:

Having flown from all 3 of the German Capital's airports - Tempelhof was by far the most unusual. While Tegel's close in gates make it convenient, Tempelhof was a step back in time. decidedly gothic it was and remains one of the last symbols of Hitler's vision of Germany.

Let's hope someone decides to do something good with it.

Cheers
