Little Tommy went to Cologne Airport the
first time to while away the time with his
friends playing soccer, hide and seek and
doing lot of forbidden things.
Cologne/Bonn - in these
former days a sleepy airport - was my playground

by the loud noise of incoming and departing
aircraft and we tried to find out where
the sound was coming from.

and B727, British Airways B737, Trident
and B-111, Air France came with Caravelle
and B727; Charter flights with Spantax
Coronados (once landed without the gears)
