A few good men ...

With a Twin Comanche to Argentinia.

How many people fly into vacation?
Well many. Germany´s tourism industry employs 10% of all employees of Germany. Mainly Europe, but also far east. Far and easy. With Condor, Tui or many other airlines. A video, some cookies, a book, breakfast before the landing. Easy.

Ok than. How many fly themself? ca. 50,000 in Germany. How many of them have flown into their own holidays into another country? My guestimate is 10% of all pilots flying. Makes 5,000.

How many of own pilots have been flying across the Atlantic? (Ok, you Lufhansa pilots - you don´t count here). My guestimate is 10% of the 10% of all pilots flying. Makes 500 in total or 0,0006 % of the population of my home country.

Pilot und Flugzeug organizes every year spectacular readers tours. This year to south america, than north toward the USA and via the northern Atlantic back to Europe. With a few good men, a mission and lots of adventurous spirit. Breakfast before the landing? Well, read the full story:
