Plans

GeorgDerReisende wants to meet OtherJack. I can be there between 11 and 12 o'clock. Or tell me a time. At least 4 p.m. is possible.

The place is reachable by bus 190 to stop Paul-Henri-Spaak-Straße, the bus connects the station Riem (S2) with the underground at Messestadt-West (U2).

Hey Georg I would be happy to meet up as well! I think 11 or 12 should be fine, but not 100% sure yet... it depends when I arrive in München. If 11 or 12 doesn't work, 4pm should still work. I'll tell you as soon as I know. Any other München-hashers awake? -- OtherJack (talk) 13:14, 10 October 2014 (EDT)

I can't promise anything yet, but this one is really easy for me (just a short bike ride from home), so even though my family has guests in the afternoon, I might be able to drop by. It would be great if you could post the approximate time you get there. --Zb (talk) 13:38, 10 October 2014 (EDT)

OK, I just figured out that I will be arriving in München tomorrow evening (Saturday). So, anytime Sunday is fine with me. Should we say 11:30am, since that's exactly between 11 and 12? -- OtherJack (talk) 17:10, 10 October 2014 (EDT)

That is ok for me. --GeorgDerReisende

If I make it, 11:30 should be fine. But please don't count on me, I still can't promise... --Zb (talk) 04:53, 11 October 2014 (EDT)

OK, that's why I put ??'s after your name above... hope it works out! See you at 11:30 tomorrow Georg. -- OtherJack (talk) 05:03, 11 October 2014 (EDT)

I will be a bit late, sorry. Now on u2 at kolumbusplatz. -- OtherJack (talk) 05:06, 12 October 2014 (EDT)

Expedition

Success! GeorgDerReisende, OtherJack and Zb met shortly before 11:30 across the street from the coordinates, and walked closer while GeorgDerReisende zeroed his GPS and OtherJack and Zb confirmed that the spot looked like what they had expected from the Satellite Map they had in remembered.

This is how everyone got there... (this still needs to be finished.)

The coords were on the corner of a building that has remained from München's old airport and still carries the catalog number (23.1), so we already had a theme and Zb offered to give GeorgDerReisende and OtherJack a tour of some other goodies that had survived the transformation of München-Riem's old airport into a trade fair, a huge residential area and a park. Together, the group walked along the old control tower, the oldest terminal building, now integrated into a business complex, and a neon sign ("Abflug"; German for "Departure") that used to be on a now-demolished terminal building and is now in the part where the taxiways or runway used to be.

(Pictures will follow)

The three spent about an hour together before everyone went their own way.
