Two pilots for Air Berlin, approaching their last landing into Dusseldorf, Germany, before the carrier’s insolvency, instead flew along the runway, banked sharply, then pulled up and flew one last time around the airport. The maneuver was unauthorized by the airline, and the crew has been suspended. “We wanted to make a mark, a dignified and emotional goodbye,” the unidentified Air Berlin pilot was quoted as saying by German broadcaster ZDF.
