„Lady Agnes“ IL62

Otto Lilienthal

Aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal (1848–1896) crashed his glider here and died later.

Lady Agnes

On October 23, 1989, an Ilyushin Il-62 jet airliner was intentionally landed on the 900m short grass airfield of Stölln/Rhinow in a risky maneuver. The jet, donated by the GDR's airline Interflug and nicknamed „Lady Agnes“ after Lilienthal's wife,[3][4] is now used for weddings.

gollark: No.
gollark: Technically not all of the orbital lasers may have *originally* been mine, but they run osmarks.tk firmware now and it's not like someone can go up there and reflash them.
gollark: Well, have osmarks.tk orbital laser network, will orbitally lase.
gollark: Idea: switch the incentives to make politicians build more environmentally-friendly power plants by orbital-lasing all heavily polluting power plants!
gollark: Other people who might be on Mars will only be allowed to use this by posting comments and getting replies back from Earth.
