    Thank you for sharing these pictures! I was living in Landsberg am Lech from 1976 to 2020 and it is nice to watch these old scenes which are even older than me! But there is a little mistake: At 0:56 min. you say we see the staircase in the so-called "Witches' Quarter". I know these stairs very well, because as a child I sometimes ran them up with my heavy school bag on my way back home from school. However, the stairs in this photo are a connection from the "Alte Bergstraße" to the "Heilig Kreuz Kirche" and are not part of the "Witches' Quarter", as you describe in the text. The "Witches' Quarter" is located behind the house, which you can see in the back of the photo. Greetings from Germany! :-)

    I grew up in the country in the 50's watching crop dusting Stearmans and Piper Cubs fly over our farm all day everyday since the airport was just across the highway from our cotton field. My grandfather would take me over to sit in the planes when I was 5 years old. I spent my days waving to pilots and dreaming of the day I would fly. My dreams came to pass although I never flew dusters or spray planes. I did end up owning and enjoying many antique taildraggers over the years. I enjoyed this presentation emensely. A lot of great memories came flooding back. You never forget the sights, sounds and smells associated with a crop dusting operation.

    I can't believe I am seeing these wonderful photos from where my family and I were living at the exact same time! You must be the young man seen a few times, by the tower and later with the VW. Were you stationed there? My dad was in the Air Force at the time and we first lived on the Kaserne just outside of town. Later we moved out to the Air Base. Your photos bring back a lot of memories. If you have more from around there I would love to see them. I hope you are doing well and thank you once again for uploading these images of a much happier time.

For example Schweinsbraten, Knödel, Brezn, Leberkäs, Weißwürste, Obatzda, Krautsalat... And of course bavarian beer. A lot of bavarian beer. Alcohol-free bavarian beer. Because alcohol is not very healthy, you should only consume very little.

    What I've always wanted to do all thru high school. When I brought home the entrance starter package involving all the costs and tuition payments my father went thru the roof. That's as far as I got. Always think about it. Few times I was lucky enough to be going down a two lane black top and observe an air tractor working I would always stop and take in the show. Thank you so much for presenting this video I enjoyed it.
