Sammler und Hobbywelten Alten-Buseck

Former Interflug Z-37 DM-SVQ, being painted to its former glory.

Mil Mi-8 in "UT-air" Colours, but don't be fooled: This is a former german Interflug/BSF helicopter.

Max Holste "Broussard"

Whata strange place: In Alten-Buseck a new museum of all kinds of stuff is located in a former furniture store. Among the exhibits are cameras, old furniture, toys, cars, trains and even aircraft. On the former parking lot this museum houses a colourful collection of planes. Some of them are quite rare: A Max Holste Broussard, Westland WS-55 Helicopter etc. I personally did not like, that some of them seem to be restored in a hurry with bright and flashy colours - sometimes hiding the real identity of them. Anyway - I think its better to preserve a plane in false markings than not at all. There are some more pics as usual on my flickr page. Enjoy!

Torben Time

What a nice way to spend some time with my little man! I flew over to Seattle for Torbens birthday and some "man-time". We visited the General Aviation Fly-In at Everett and drover over the Cascades to eastern Washington to spend some days around (and in) Lake Chelan.
Beautiful landscape, Aviation and at first a lot of time with Torben - what more could I ask for?

A real litte holiday for the both of us and lots of fun. I so much enjoyed driving around, seeing stuff and playing by the lake and I believe so did Torben. Can't wait to visit him again. I love you Torben!!

Nassau Bahamas

One of the aviation highlights of my short visit to the Bahamas. This DC-3 is 65 years old and still going strong, hauling cargo to and from the US and the Bahamas. Looking a bit beaten up and faded while basking in the hot bahamian sun, I got to see her take of the next day on one of the more or less scheduled trips to Florida. As usual on my flickr site (www.flickr.com/photos/flyingaxel) will be some more pics.
