Neun-und-neunzig Luftzeuge

Neun-und-neunzig Luftzeuge

Delta hits 99 airplanes: Today's in-flight Internet announcement that Delta has one shy of one hundred planes equipped with Wi-Fi is brought to you courtesy of the 1983 German hit, 99 Luftballoons. (Luftballoon = balloon; Luftzeuge = aircraft.)

Update:: I'm told I got the term wrong! Flug is "flight" in German and Luft is "air," but Flugzeug is the correct term for an airplane.
