EDDG
Was a bit bored tonight, so I did this: FMO (Flughafen Münster-Osnabrück), which is my home airport beside the small airfield at Telgte (EDLT).
and more shots from the simulated EDDG that are not by me: http://www.aerosoft.de/_php_projekte/_php_screenshots2/screenshots.php?sp=fs2004&p=muenster

Cannot tell, because we cannot sticik to the old rules anymore. The last years, weather cycles were mad. but all in all, Germany sees relatively mild weather, and yes, it is a green country.
Horses from Westphalia are said to be the most robust and healthiest worldwide, because they are left on the meadows no matter what the weather is - and the weather here knows a constant changing between weather types from wet to hot that have a very much desired training effect on horses' physiology. That's why their bloodlines are so much desired to be brought into the horse farming of other horse races in sports. It's not the extremes we have (we have no real extremes, usually), but the constant changing between dry and wet, hot and cold. Maybe you can imagine something from that. Westphalia (and here: the socalled Muenster-land) is also the heart of Germany's horse-sports. Many Olympia-winners and world champions come from here, and riders from other nations (including the US) train here). Nearby Warendorf (close to Muenster) also is one of the two centres of Germany's shooting sports, again many international champions are from this region, or train here. But this just btw.

Yeah, Germany is definitely on my "to see" list. I'm planning on taking a trip to England this fall, and after that I really want to go Germany. I really just want to go around Europe and go country hopping or something. Although the Arizona desert from the air looks beautiful, so I think I can wait a little bit longer for the Europe thing.

Sorry, no. The pics are from the official FMO homepage, and found via Google picture search.

Monarch are not averse to a bit of diversion action as far as I know. I remember flying on one of their Boeing 720's from Spain to the UK once in place of a Dan Air London Boeing 727 that had broken down in the UK - with about 10 people on the flight it was kind of like having your own private jet. Otherwise known as 'The Lead Sled' because of the lack of hydraulic assistance on the control surfaces, the 720 was a cool aeroplane, you should have heard the racket it made when the gear came down! Won't forget that flight in a hurry, good old Monarch
