My personal flight career started on the rear seat of a C 172 with tail index D ELSE. This aircraft was owned by the Technical University of Berlin, astronautics and aeronautics branch, institute guidance and control and me at that time in the main study period to graduate for my engineer degree.
Its last mission was to deliver sky divers at my club at EDVH, the place out of which I operate my Airborne Blade Inspections.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
