The exterior restoration is complete.

Today marks a small but meaningful milestone in this project:

The exterior restoration is complete.

I had the chance to step in front of the camera with my wife, wearing my mother’s original uniform—a quiet tribute, a full-circle moment.

Fifty years ago, my parents stood proudly in front of a Lufthansa Boeing 707.

Today, I stand before the last remaining Lufthansa 707 cockpit – a relic of a bygone era, brought back to life piece by piece.

None of this would have been possible without my wonderful wife.

Her endless patience, the countless evenings I spent working on the cockpit, her quiet understanding even in the moments when I was mentally miles away, lost in thoughts about how to route just one more cable…

Thank you, for standing by my side, for believing in me.
