Always fun to remember that the typical landing pattern into TXL involved flying over East Berlin

Hi Willy Kaemena great you are still around yes this is a great video picked you up 10 years ago with a tv screen presentation. First originally saw you on KZfaq dial up on my old 1999 Mac green colour around 10 years ago ! Currenly a priceless great presentation between West and East Germany in 1989 aviation and airports and Pan Am flights, Interflug Ilyushin II-62 and Airbus A310. Latvian connections and understand very emotional. Between East and West at the time. Now we are Republic of Latvia and proud. Regards, Ansett 727.

Thank you so much for the invaluable sharing of this amazing piece of history! I am surprised though, that the Siegessäule seems so close to the Brandenburger Tor at first (@8'45) and then further away as is in reality (@8'51), I wonder how that was possible.

@@wkaemena Sure, but the distance is huge, and it really appears much closer than normal, while the Brandenburger Tor appears to remain approximately the same size in both cases! I didn't know reality could be manipulated that much prior to photoshop!

What other airlines operated The inner German flights Does it include Air France United Airlines trans World Airlines and British Airways? If UA Operated them it's tagged to a Chicago O'Hare Washington Dulles flight at Frankfurt or Munich Riem Airport because the current Franz Josef Strauss airport opened in 1992 after Reunification in 1990.

In the post-war era prior to reunification only the airlines of the 3 occupying powers were allowed to operate services to/from West Berlin which they operated from their respective sectors in the Federal Republic (West Germany). BA using BAC 1-11's would operate from towns in the British sector, Pan-Am using Boeing 727's would operate from towns in the American sector and AF using Boeing 727's would operate from towns in the French sector. From memory the BA and PA flights were all economy, although from this video it would appear that PA introduced a Clipper Class cabin at some point. From memory, BA and AF flights from West Berlin continuing to Paris or London would make a stop in West Germany en-route although there were non-stop BA BAC-1-11 flights from West Berlin to London. I also recall a daily PA Boing 727 flight LHR-FRA-TXL The aircraft would have to fly over East German territory to reach West Berlin and were required to fly along the designated access corridors and were required to descend to a height of 6000ft for the corridor sector of the flight. You got a very good view of the East German frontier (the so-called iron curtain) from the aircraft on a clear day. Just to clarify, Lufthansa were not allowed to fly to West Berlin at all. Domestic flights within the Federal Republic of Germany were however operated by Lufthansa, not AF BA PA - these airlines operated only internal German flights to/from West Berlin. Airlines of all other countries were required to operate to East Berlin Schonefeld airport.
