Anyone who watches him like this still sees the minister. Recently again, Andreas Scheuer strolled across the runway of Berlin Airport with his hair done and tie in his hand. International Air and Space Show, one flying object next to the other. Scheuer (CSU) used to open the fair herself, with Angela Merkel (CDU), then Chancellor. This time? He came as a simple member of the Bundestag, as they say. Which didn’t stop him speaking like a minister as he strolled past the A350 and the Airbus Beluga, that super transporter with the monster hatch over the cockpit. The trade fair shows “that we have real innovations in Europe and in Germany,” said Scheuer enthusiastically. “This exhibition is really future!”
