English to German Marketing Tourism & Travel

When I was a child, I was in love with airliners of all kinds, but it was the 747 that captured my imagination most completely. Its rare and marvellous combination of size and grace, its ***extraordinary ability to vault between far-off cities***, its silhouette (with that iconic hump in the forward fuselage, something that arguably resembles the head of a bird). Even with so many newer planes taking flight these days, it’s no surprise that the ‘jumbo jet’ remains a reliable synonym for aerial wonder. On the evening of 12 December 2007, I flew a 747 for the first time as a pilot, from London to Hong Kong. I flew the 747 for 11 years and, to this day, it remains the highlight of my career.
