LOL
It was flown by a 24 year old male copilot in the Dutch newspapers.
I was on a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Munich once when there was a line
squall positioned across the runway, the pilot said he had chosen not to land
because in his opinion it was risky. We circled for about half an hour and
eventually had to land in Stuttgart to take on more fuel. Friends arrived from
Amsterdam on a KLM flight and had landed whilst we were circling. They thought
the Lufthansa pilot had made the right decision.
