The journalists in Vienna and Austria and also in Germany call me a legend. I`m a man who lived through difficult times. I`m a man who survived the monster of all times, Adolf Hitler, and I`m still, at my high old age of 93, successful in my profession and that is the pride with which I live and survive.
- Leon Askin(speaking in the 1960s) "It would be wrong of me to say so, but in this country (USA) money is more important than love. Most people here betray you and that`s why there is so much chaos. I want to get away from here. I am homesick for Vienna ... because my home is Vienna and Austria, not America...never!"

- Niki LaudaI employ 20 people in Vienna. The other 130 coworkers are pilots and flight companions. The Overhead is limited with me. Reduces naturally the costs of my fliers.
