THE SIGHT & THE SOUND 1/2 : Malev TU-154 HA-LCP documentary from Frankfurt to Budapest

FLIGHT MALEV TU-154B-2 HA-LCP FRANKFURT-BUDAPEST

Summer time is flying time.
Winter time is editing time.
I am now starting to work on my oldest footages, starting in 1993, using Hi8 analogue tapes, partly heavily damaged. Quality is partially horrible and editing and scene cutting this material is a true nightmare. Nevertheless it is worth its while taking all the trouble to save these memories for the future.

This inflight video features a flight onboard Malev Hungarian Airlines from Frankfurt to Budapest back in 1994, 23 years ago., almost a quarter of a century.
