Default End of an era

Tonight, at midnight German time, the world'S oldest still active traffic airport will see it's last two flights ever taking off on special flights. After the DC-3 and the Ju-52 will have taken off, Tempelhof airfield in Berlin will shut down service, forever. Offices and shops already have been moved out, no other planes are there anymore.

Damn, it's strange because I did not experience it's great old times and the airlift: but it hurts nevertheless. If that is not irrational.
