RT by @SpaethFlies: The @lufthansa Group's new conference and visitor center at Frankfurt Airport is now home to the Lockheed L-1649A Super Star "D-ALAN." Hangar One will open to the public in summer 2026. The exhibition will be open several days a week. It is also planned, that the visitors can access the 1950s styled cabin and have a look to the flightdeck. As regrettable as it is that the Super Star was not made airworthy, it is nevertheless gratifying to be able to admire this historic aviation gem in all its beauty in the future.
