DIREKT! Direct Flights from Germany into T.F. Green !!
German Condor Airlines to launch Frankfurt-Providence, RI service
(Will we be able to use Condor next spring? Nope. Unfortunately, Condor is scheduled to open their service just a week too late for us in 2015. -- rsb)
Sep 03, 2014
PROVIDENCE, RI - Beginning June 18, 2015, Condor Airlines will
start regularly scheduled seasonal service from Frankfurt, Germany (FRA)
to T.F. Green Airport (PVD). Flights will operate on Mondays and
Thursdays on a Boeing B767/300.
“I am pleased to help welcome Condor Airlines to T.F. Green starting next summer. This new international service will give Rhode Island travelers a direct, affordable connection to Frankfurt and Europe. And it should help make Rhode Island a more popular destination for European tourists and businesses looking to expand to our shores,” said U.S. Senator Jack Reed, a member of the Appropriations Committee who helped direct an estimated $110 million federal investment to upgrade T.F. Green. “Our continued investment in modernizing T.F. Green and extending the runway is key to helping attract new business, jobs, and tourism to Rhode Island.”
Support for the entrance of Condor into the Rhode Island market has been a coordinated effort of the airport working in unison with government and travel and tourism partners. Germany is a beautiful country and place to visit as well as an important connecting hub for travelers wishing to journey to greater Europe.
“T.F. Green is a terrific airport, which is ideally situated in New England. We are pleased that Condor has chosen us,” Governor Lincoln D. Chafee said, “Our state and its location offers optimum access to top tourist destinations. Germans rank as one of the top inbound visitors to Rhode Island, and this new service will make it easier for them to travel to our great state.”
The Airport and travel partners will launch a destination marketing campaign to raise awareness of the new service aboard Condor. With its miles of coastline, unique arts cultural experiences and seasonal offerings, Rhode Island is certain to be of interest to travelers from Germany and other European markets.
"The USA has so much more to offer than just California, New York and Florida. Rhode Island is a very special destination for our customers. The new Condor flights offer the best access to New England's tourist highlights such as the beaches of Cape Cod, Martha‘s Vineyard and Nantucket. The metropolis of Boston is less than an hour's drive away," explained Jens Boyd, Head of Long-Haul at Thomas Cook Group Airlines. "Rhode Island is the latest addition to Condor's current destinations of Minneapolis (MSP), Baltimore / Washington (BWI), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Las Vegas (LAS), Seattle (SEA), Anchorage (ANC) and Fairbanks (FAI)."
“We welcome Condor to T.F. Green Airport and the State of Rhode Island. Today marks a milestone for the airport as this is the first time we are able to offer non-stop scheduled international service to Greater Europe and connecting destinations,” said Kelly Fredericks, President and CEO of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation that manages and operates T.F. Green Airport. “We fully recognize the many positive impacts this service will have not only on the airport, but to the state and region with regard to inbound tourism and business development. To our new partner, Condor, Dankeschön, and to our new German customers, Willkommen! We look forward to the start of service in June 2015 and seeing you in Rhode Island.”

NOVA: Escape from Nazi Alcatraz : Burg Colditz
Select WGBH as your PBS channel, and tune into a memorable reenactment
HIER IST DER GANZ INTERESSANTER FILM über Burg Colditz
http://video.pbs.org/video/2365245626/
At Colditz, there was one guard for every prisoner.
,,Für Sie, der Krieg ist vorbei."
-- The English boarding school situation will have prepared them all for escaping prison.
Somehow, I am especially enamored of the hand-built waddling ducks shown in the final frames.

AlexiBexi wieder: Airplanes v. Hayley Williams
Songtext....
Können wir so tun, als wären die Flugzeuge am dunklen Himmel die Sternschnuppen?
Ich hätte gern' 'nen Wunsch jetzt frei,
Wunsch jetzt frei, Wunsch jetzt frei.
Können wir so tun, als wären die Flugzeuge am dunklen Himmel die Sternschnuppen?
Ich hätte gern' 'nen Wunsch jetzt frei,
Wunsch jetzt frei, Wunsch jetzt frei.
Yeah, ich könnte gut 'n Traum, 'ne Giny oder Wunsch gebrauchen, um an einen andern Ort als diesen hier direkt zu laufen! Denn nach all dem Party machen und all den Zerschmetternden, all dem Glitter, Glamour und den großen Modegrafen, und all dem Chaos und dem Idiotismus, kommt die große Zeit, in der du in das Dunkle rein musst. Und wenn du auf dein Telefon in deinem Schoß starrst, und du hoffst, dass die Leute zurück rufen, wenn man's rafft.
Aber so nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf, man reicht dir die Hand, also gib nicht auf! Wenn deine Träume nun endlich klarer werden,
was würdest du tun, dürftest du 'nen Wunsch loswerden?
Also, Flugzeug, Flugzeug, sorry, ich bin spät Ich bin auf dem Weg, schließ nich den Weg Wenn ich's nich' mehr schaff', änder' ich den Flug. und am Ende der Nacht, bin ich zurück.
Können wir so tun, als wären die Flugzeuge am dunklen Himmel die Sternschnuppen? Ich hätte gern' 'nen Wunsch jetzt frei,
Wunsch jetzt frei,
Wunsch jetzt frei.
Können wir so tun, als wären die Flugzeuge am dunklen Himmel die Sternschnuppen? Ich hätte gern' 'nen Wunsch jetzt frei,
Wunsch jetzt frei,
Wunsch jetzt frei.
Bring mich bitte jemand zurück in die Zeit, bevor dem Job hier, ich wurd' nich bezahlt. als ich nie wirklich wusste, was mir noch so bleibt. Als jeder Cent noch führte zu jedem Streit. Doch heute rappt doch einfach jeder Spinner,
um zu sein der größte Winner all der Spinner. Doch _(oh) Ich schätze, ist das Wünschen aus 'n em Flugzeug dann soweit, könnten wir wieder zurück _ in _ die_se _ Zeit.
Zurück, als das Rap-Game noch keine Politik war, Zurück, als noch niemand mein Mix-Tape gehört hat. Zurück, als ich noch versuchte Slang zu vertuschen, Aber das ist für die Cada, was geht, Bobby Ray? Ich habe einen Wunsch, Politik zu beenden, zurückgehen zur Musik und diesen Scheiß zu beenden. So stehe ich hier und ich sage noch mal: Ich hoffe, wir wünschen uns gemeinsam etwas.
Können wir so tun, als wären die Flugzeuge am dunklen Himmel die Sternschnuppen? Ich hätte gern' 'nen Wunsch jetzt frei,
Wunsch jetzt frei,
Wunsch jetzt frei.
