"The first Ta-800 Adler flew for the first time on march 7th 1962 and trials proceeded according to expectations. The first scheduled flight between Berlin and New York took place on November 1969. It was equipped with Junkers Jumo 067 afterburning engines.



The Ta-800 was operated on flights across the Atlantic and on the Berlin - Tokyo route. Later there were also flights to Moscow and Buenes Aires. The Luftwaffe used 5 as VIP transports. In total 58 Ta-800s were built. The type is still in service today. The aircraft of the Lufthansa were named after Luftwaffe aces of World War II.

The aircraft depicted in the photos is the Ta-800 A-3 "Bar". It was commissioned with the Lufthansa in June 1973 and flew mainly on the route to Tokyo. The "Bar" was lost over Siberia in a terrorist attack by Russian guerillas using stolen German anti aircraft missiles on the 23rd of October 1984, killing all 106 passengers and crew."
