air oberlaa

You wouldn't believe what I saw today, on Favoriten Airport (the small southern airport of Vienna), just besides the Air Oberlaa hangar:

Here we go then - the flags of the two city rivals in football, Rapid Wien and Austria Wien, side by side:

Which of course is at least as scandalous as if there would fly the flags of Barça and Real, or Celtic and Rangers, or Arsenal and Chelsea, or even Schalke and Leverkusen which aren't "exactly" city rivals as they're both clubs of individual towns respectively, but they're nevertheless "city rivals of the Ruhr Pott".

Or in other words: the mere thought the flags of Austria Wien and Rapid Wien side by side, arm in arm so to speak, is just inconceivable - it won't happen, never ever never! But still, here it is ...

(... oh well, okay - you've got the point, or if you haven't you never will, so I might just explain things. :) The first photo really shows Honeymoon Air, as you can see for yourself if you care to take a look. Obviously, Dagmar and Georg are getting married, and also, quite obviously, they're fans of Rapid and Austria respectively - so this actually is a prank of their friends.)
