München-Riem
December 1991
A view from Riem’s tower in December 1991, approximately to the south-west, and shortly before the airport’s closure in May 1992.
The parking area behind the LTU TriStar, Balkan Tu-154 and LTU B757 on the right was called "Westpilz" ("western mushroom", because of its shape when seen from the air). In earlier years, it had mainly been used for general aviation aircraft and visitors that stayed a little longer (from several days to several months). Towards the end of the 1980s, the area was expanded and integrated into normal operations at the increasingly busy and congested airport.
