Cleared for 3000 feet, starting descent Back over Berlin Turning left heading 060 (that's Tempelhof ahead and not Tegel though)

Now there's Tegel Airport Cleared for the visual approach to runway 26R On final, but the C-97 is tricky to handle at maximum cargo load

Landed at EDDT, but touched down a bit too early (going to have to check the landing gear for damage) Offloading the cargo after my last flight for this fly-in, I think I delivered about 40 tons altogether :)
