We left Vienna about 10 am. We claimed to flight level 140. It was short 1:35 minuets flight with a good tail wind and 205 knot ground speed that puts smile on every pilots face.

Due to cloud coverage over the Tempelhof airport at Berlin we had to shoot an ILS approach. It wasn’t pleasant to shoot this approach, by having an air traffic controller with an attitude.

We took a taxi to visit the Berlin wall.

 

We just heard back from our handling agent. It looks like they would not be able to get our landing clearance in Russia on time, unless we pay about $4800 handling fee. We don’t need to land there that bad! We are bypassing Moscow .

It was the night to eat healthy; cantaloupes, watermelon, fresh bread and cheese were our feast.
