THE SIGHT & THE SOUND : Crossair Saab 340 HB-AKA documentary from Zurich to Leipzig

Описание: FLIGHT CROSSAIR SAAB 340B HB-AKA ZURICH-LEIPZIG

Summer time is flying time.
Winter time is editing time.
I am now starting to work on my oldest footages, starting in 1993, using Hi8 analogue tapes. Quality is partially horrible and editing and scene cutting this material is a true nightmare. Nevertheless it is worth its while taking all the trouble to save these memories for the future.

This inflight video features a flight onboard Crossair from Zurich to Leipzig. Crossair set new standards and earned a high reputation for its excellent inflight service a quarter of a century ago.
