It has been a long time coming, but Berlin’s historic Tempelhof Flughafen is about to go out of business. At the end of the day before Halloween, on Oct. 30, 2008, Tempelhof will close down for good.

Berliners often call it THE world’s oldest, but there were several commercial airports in operation before Tempelhof, including Königsberg in Prussia (1922, today’s Kaliningrad, Russia).
