Luftbrückenmuseum Fassberg

On the road again... this time with Torben to the Luftbrückenmusem (Berlin Airliftmuseum) in Fassberg in the middle of nowhere about 90km to the north of Hannover. Fassberg was built as a "secret" town in the thirties around the Airfield which is still in Military use today and despite the German Forces there is not much here. The drive up to Fassberg is quite scenic with litte villages and farms. 

Allthough the Museum (www.luftbrueckenmuseum.de) is quite small, it is very well maintained and informative. Of course the reason for us to drive up there was teh centerpiece of the exhibition - the C-47 "Fassberg-Flyer". This aircraft was donated to Germany about 10 years ago by the Turkish Air Force and restored to represent a contemporary airlift plane. 

I am so glad Torben likes airplanes, too..... and other things!  Quite interresting: about 10km away from Fassberg is "Kleinamerika" (Little America). It is so small it does not even apear on any of my roadmaps.
