Interesting visit to Skyguide ATC control center near Zurich today with Benjamin Denes for our air crash podcast #flugforensik. Who would’ve thought some controllers would still use paper strips to coordinate traffic? #avgeek

An air vehicle you only see regularly over Lake Constance - the #zeppelin NT airship carrying up to 15 pax on sightseeing flights from #friedrichshafen. Highly recommended! Benjamin Denes #avgeek
