Standing on the Wing of an Airplane

At the Technikmuseum in Speyer they have a Boing 474 and you can walk out on its wing.

You can see the Speyer Cathedral.

To the west, the mountains of the Palatinate Forest can be seen.

Further to the south is the town of Speyer and the trees lining the banks of the river Rhein.

Zooming out and the tail of the jumbo on which I was standing comes into view.

And that is the view to the front of the airplane.

Windows into the World

We spent Easter Sunday at the Technical Museum in Speyer. We went into a Boeing 747, a Viscount, and a Canada Air CL-415 (an amphibious water bomber) amongst others. The windows are scratchy and dusty as these are museum pieces and no longer in use but that actually works well to make room for all that imagination.
