Video of Fabulous Model Airport Looks Just Like Video of Real Airport Designed to Look Like a Model

Let's be clear about this: The video above is NOT a work of tilt-shift gimmickry. Rather, it's a fully functioning model of a real airport, complete with aircraft, ground-service vehicles, and the ability to have airplanes taxi, take-off, and land from the model's pretend runway.

The model Flughafen is at a place called Miniatur Wunderland in Germany, and according to the video caption (translated via the Google and edited by Telstar Logistics):
