bodybuilder of Turkish descent named as Volkan T., proceeded to stage a 
raucous, one-man party. Reports said he stripped down to his underpants, 
sprayed fire extinguisher foam around the elegant cream and beige 
interior, pushed buttons in the cockpit, released an inflatable emergency

President Joachim Gauck, was delivered three years ago and is one of two 
medium range A319 jets in the government fleet. It has a private office, a 
conference room that seats 12 and a main cabin with room for 32.
