For nine years, a woman and a Boeing 737 were in a relationship. However, after the former decided to dump the plane, she said they remained friends.
Michele Kbke first spotted the aircraft in 2014 at Berlin’s Tegel airport. It was described as the love of her life.
According to Michele, a German warehouse worker, she was attracted to the aircraft due to its various features, such as its wings and thrusters.
After almost a decade of being with her partner, she says her strange love affair with the airplane has come to an end.
In an interview with the German tabloid Bild, Michele said she and her partner were no longer together. She noted that she was still friends with the airplane.
Michele, who identified herself as an objectophile, said that she had a strong attraction to certain types of inanimate objects.
This type of person may also have a passion for certain structures and items.
Although objectophilia is often regarded as a sexual disorder, most individuals do not need treatment.
In September 2019, after six years of being restricted to only being able to view the plane through a window, Michele was finally able to get a closer look at it. She was even able to kiss the aircraft.
According to Michele, her experience in the aircraft hangar was one of the most romantic moments of her life. She said she and her partner enjoyed every minute of it.
Since the hangar is where she and her partner can spend their time together, she plans to move into it eventually.
She purchased various parts from the plane, such as its tank valve, flap track fairing, and spoilers. She also had a model of the aircraft she used to go to bed with.
She also had various aircraft souvenirs, which she sold to make room for her new passion, which is the Middle Ages. She said she loved wearing knights’ armor.
