It was also one of the main departure points for the Berlin Airlift, serving as the principal C-54 depot.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=139 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 20:48:04 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=139 <p>Like many things in Germany, this airport was efficient. Visited it in 1991, first time on the Continent, and I was shocked to see peach-fuzz faced boys in uniform casually holding Uzis, leaning against a wall keeping an eye on everyone. </p> <p>I was disappointed not to get a stamp on my Canadian passport, as the customs officials just waved us through, possibly glancing at the cover of my passport with its regal coat of arms and assuming I was British, and therefore an EU citizen.</p>
