Over the last 3 weeks I flew to and through Frankfurt twice which created quite an opportunity to add to my Lufthansa plane spotting gallery. At some point in the near future I’ll need to sit down and truly categorize all the LH aircraft that I’ve caught on film over the last 3 years and see who is missing. I know that I’ve ‘spotted’ each active 747-400 and 747-8i. I have most of the A380 and A340/A330 fleet as well. The challenge will be to track down all the narrow-body birds. There may be too many A319/20/21s and regional jets for me to catch up with unless they start flying in and out of GRR, but its the challenge and chase that keeps me buying more film.
This grouping was taken from the Terminal 2 Observation Deck on a day where rain and sun took turns as far as the weather was concerned. Unfortunately this created a bit of a heat haze issue since every shower was followed by bright sunlight which created a bit of vapor in the air. Not bad as LAX in the summer, but not great either as you’ll see in some of the shots.
In case you missed it a few days ago, I posted a series of photos of non-Lufthansa aircraft taken on the same day. You can find those images by clicking here.
Thank you for posting the A340-300 and B747-4. They appear to be performing a “dance” of the taxi-ways at FRA. Fun stuff!
Cheers!
Can you post the photo that you used for your lead-in to the article? That is cool shot of the Star Alliance (LH) A340 and the B747-4 in the photo.
nice pics thank you
