An amazing privilege to at last after all these years catch up with this hide and seek A320! Each time it’s visited in the past I’ve always managed to let it slip by days, even minutes! Not anymore at last.

Certainly one smart looking Royal jet with all the right designs and features in all the right places.
It’s core use is to transport the Ruler or Sharjah based in the UAE for summits and state visits.

Goodbye, Airbus A340-600!

Today, Lufthansa's last 3 Airbus A340-600s completed their final commercial flights arriving in Frankfurt.

Even though Lufthansa experienced a strike that lasted 3 days while I was in FRA, I was still lucky enough to photograph of one of their A340-600s in the sky taking off to Washington and returning to Frankfurt the next day.

Because of the strike, runway 07L/25R was not in use, so D-AIHY landed on runway 07C, which is a runway that is basically never used for landings and thus made it more special.

Although I never had the opportunity fly on this aircraft, it was an incredible experience to be able to see it and photograph it during its last year of operation.

Solo demos are cool, but team demos? The team precision hits different.
