Tegelplanierung -- taking a plane from Tegel airport, of course!
Actually, 'Tegel', according to Heath's dictionary, is a "species of
bluish-green marl forming part of the Tertiary strata" and
'Planierung' is levelling of the ground.
As a geologist, I should know 'Tegel', but I don't (and won't till
I get to the library Monday).
