Results first training Berlin, Wednesday 24 may 2006

Highlights of Berlin are the Brandenburg Gate, Unter den Linden and the Parliament building the Reichstag. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 many buildings in the former city centre of East Berlin (today the district Mitte) were renovated.

This will be the first time an Air Race take place at an international airport. With the first two races being flown over water, Tempelhof will be an exciting contrast and a new challenge for the pilots. Built in the 1920’s, the airport terminal is one of the largest buildings in the world and its striking architecture will provide an impressive backdrop for the race. Spectators will also have spectacular views of the pilots as they speed through the specially designed course.

All eyes will be on German pilot, Klaus Schrodt who will be vying for victory in his home town.
