OS346/977 9.10. HEL-VIE-GRZ - the photostory


Captain Torsten Steinwender prepares for the two-hour flight to Vienna.


Riga's city centre seen from the sky. The railway station is clearly visible, as well as the huge hangars now used as the central market.


Approaching Graz Thalerhof airport in a beautiful evening light. Just in case: the visible village is NOT the commercial centre of Graz :)

I'll also add something for non-aviation fans: plans for the coming days!

-To finally take the plunge and taste sushi under the guidance of a Japanese student.
-To go and see "Carmen" at the Graz opera.
-To take tram 1 to the end of the line at Mariatrost and walk back home through the forest (I have no idea whether this is a good idea, but at least the area is painted green on the city map).
-To finally finish reading "Anna Karenina".

Wishing everyone a non-hazardous Friday evening!

What's with the "non-hazardous" and "smoke-free" ?

As for your question, I like that one! It's original and hmm, relaxed :D

My novel still not finished.

The first picture's caption reminds me of certain Finnair flights where captains had 'prepared' in a very Finnish way. Mr. Steinwender seems to be sober, though. Phew!
I wouldn't be Martin if I couldn't come up with a Calvin now, inspired by the airplane's name. Here goes:

Calvin aka Spaceman Spiff is engaged in another fierce space fight. We switch to the classroom where an exam is taking place.
Susie (whispers from behind): "Psst, Calvin! What was the capital of Poland until 1596?"
Calvin: "Krakow."
Susie: "Thank you!"
Back in space, Spiff is giving 'em hell: "Krakow! Krakow! Two direct hits!"


You probably knew that one anyway...
