This was a momentous event in German civil aviation - the first flight of the first scheduled IF service between East and West Germany. The route was via Czech airspace (to avoid flying over the recently defunct Wall) from/to Leipzig. Although I left home in plenty of time everything conspired against me and by the time I arrived on the terrace she had already taxied - still irks me to this day!
