notice the airway marker at 0:27, and runway lights.

Gives a whole new meaning to "flying on the autobahn."

Wow!!

Man, this *is* narrow, and imagine heavy turbulences .... or "just" some strong crosswinds!

[whiteblood10]

A10 uses highway for a runway? lol

[Fitzliputzli23]

During cold war German autobahns were thought to be turned into temporary airfields in case of war. That's why NATO-pilots trained this now and then.

[weasel75]

@Fitzliputzli23 .. not just NATO ... within East-Germany many miles of any new Autobahn were build without a permanent lane-separator.

[Harlequin43]

So what happened that he chose to land there?

Interesting use of the autobahns... in Sweden they uses theirs in the same operational mode, cheap and wise alternative to not spend money!!!
