Sometime in the 70s...Swissair hauling mostly Swiss tourists to the Portuguese coast back home, with one of their DC-9-50s.

Boarding at LPPT




Rocketing off from RWY 3


Using RNAV




How could one not love the 9...just look at it...




On final at at LSZH




Taxiing to gate




Deplaning


Love is truly in the air, it seems. These 2 passengers (him - a Swiss tourist returning home from Portugal, her - a Portuguese tourist to Switzerland) fell in love (whatever that is) in midair, and...well...let's just say she'll be having an interesting guide to show her around Switzerland at all times.

WELL Dorel .... given that particular statememt combined with your obvious love of aviation and our DC-9 simlations in particular .... "IF" you made this into "a video" then I think I've got the "perfect" soundtrack for you to accompany such a production ....

WELL .... I just hope they're both "over 16 years of age" .... although it might be older in some other countries

Do you think we should ensure they're adequately "CHAPARONED" Dorel .... just to be on the safe side ?

OH .... the stories one might make out of this sort presentation could become as creative as they are interesting and result in quite an amusing thread ....

They seem to be well in their 20s, so...as far as I'm concerned, they can go do plane spotting all they want, unsupervised. They're well above the legal age for plane spotting in all countries.  Ironic how I, a surly, cold hearted, emotionless piece of...lifeform, who doesn't understand "love", at least not in this particular form (*AHEM*, except, maybe, when it comes to Danish girls, *AHEM*), created a mesmerizing scenario involving that very feeling, which captures folks' imagination and "tickles their feelings".

I haven't made videos in ages, and even those 2 or 3 that I made years ago, were mediocre at best. I would love to get into video making too, but I feel it's just too time consuming for me right now. But who knows, maybe one day...

W-E-L-L you kow how it is .... "a little bit of power and a little bit of paint makes any girl look exactly what she aint" .... and .... perceptions can often/easily be misconceptions too

they can go do plane spotting all they want

I hope "SHE" doesn't get bored
