Lufthansa tours

Barely a couple of hours later I awoke and struggled down to the meeting place for today’s tours. A Lufthansa guy came and spoke at our group. Unfortunately he was far too quiet and speaking toward only a portion of our group, with everyone else (including me) unable to hear. I guessed the Technik sign meant this would be a tour I’d be interested in so I joined him as he led FTers off.

We had a short drive to some hangars. A quick run through security and then we were split into 3 groups. Our guide was a retired engineer, very knowledgeable and quite funny. Over the next few hours we climbed over and through a 747-400 and A340-600.

By the time we got back the lack of food & sleep were getting to me. I skipped the afternoon tour and checked in for my next 3 flights. Since I have a very early start tomorrow, I skipped the Seeheim dinner, party & sleepover.
