Airliner Maintenance - Boeing 737

The ILA show at Berlin Schonefeld SXF usually allows an opportunity to view some airliner maintenance.

Lufthansa have a 737 overhaul hangar here and open the facility for the public to have a look - this year 737-500 D-ABIL was undergoing servicing on 30.5.08.


With the nose cone up you can see what I believe to be the the ILS localiser antennae.


This aircraft was built back in 1991 and has been with Lufthansa since new - the aircraft is named "Memmingen" and is c/n 24824 line number 2006.
