In 2019 my personal darling arrived at Air Classics, the PBY-5A "Miss Pick Up". What a beauty, with some little flauws. First it came early, just a bit, but it gave me the exclusive opportuity to documet it from an higher viewpoint than all others. But thenGerman beaurocracy struck hard, by discovering the fact, that the pilot had 4 take offs and landings too less in his documents to get the permit of flying the aircraft in front of audience! In the rest of Europe this is no problem, but in Germany we make it one. Thus the poor guy had to stay longer and provide a set of 4 take offs and landings after hours, which didn't mean all the audience was gone. Bad luck for him, but a happy moment for all fans and photographers. When do you get the chance to view 4 take offs and landings after another and in the sun set too! Thanks to our beaurocrats (I can't believe I wrote that).

The ground crew mad fun of him by showing him rounds poster after each landing to let him know the score. It was a great evening for those who didn't go home early...
