We are currently at a park with the kids with a bunch of slides, jungle gyms etc.
I'll have to file a complaint though. There are these miniature airframes with attached slides for the kids to climb in/on/around. The aircraft registration starting with D-D doesn't exist though. I can't unwatch that.

(inb4: "ThAt'S tHe ReASon ThEy cHoOsE thIs!!1!1" Maybe. I still don't like it 😡)

Even worse! A KLM with a German registration? That's it! We are leaving RIGHT NOW!

@G33KatWork Ah, that’s easily explained to put your worries to rest: D-D… is the range for fictional aircraft. Like 555 phone numbers. So nobody confuses those with actual aircraft ☝️

@G33KatWork Made it up, but if it works for you, it’s canon.

@nblr Not sure if I should be mad or not.
