There are lumps in all that gravy.Pilots descending toward Tempelhof airfield at night have been deliberately and dangerously blinded by East German spotlights. Their navigational aids, essential in a political corridor only 20 miles wide, have been knocked out by tinsel strewn from Russian planes. Worst of all, MIG fighters have 3 buzzed the commercial planes or escorted them wing tip to wing tip in an effort to un nerve pilots. "Crisis," sighs one Pan Am executive, "is a way of life...
...hour after takeoff, Obacz roared over West Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie at rooftop level, landed at Tempelhof Airport, and requested political asylum. "I fled because I was fed up," Obacz said.

...Tunner's airlift required eight airfields in West Germany and three in Berlin, including famed Tempelhof, which was ringed by buildings. Tunner would use just three fields this time: at the West German end, the two closest to Berlin in the central air corridor, and in Berlin, unobstructed Tegel Airport in the French sector. Using these three fields would avoid the 5,000-ft. climb to clear mountains, cut the average distance nearly in half, permit the planes to flow toward Tegel at a mere 500 ft., returning in a wide northern loop to approach their home fields from...
