Re: Landing in Algeria

Sorry Remi

No answer to your question, but I was interested in another intricacy of the German language and my own inability to fully comprehend what it means. Glattlandung! Since Glatt means both slippery and smooth and landung is pretty self evident, does this reflect on a somewhat bad landing where the aeroplane slided off a given airstrip? Could the runway have been possibly full of water ( I know it is in Algeria, but on occasion I believe it could rain in the coastal areas)?

Cheers
Stig
