After a brief delay, Lufthansa Cargo is finally going to welcome its first 777F to the fleet in a ceremony in Frankfurt today, November 19. The event was scheduled for approximately 2 weeks ago but was delayed to a minor manufacturing issue that Boeing needed to resolve.
Lufthansa Cargo will share the event with followers on Facebook tomorrow so if you are interested you can keep up with the latest updates throughout the unveiling event. Additionally, Lufthansa Cargo will reveal the ‘nickname’ of the aircraft and announce the winner of their contest that was held to name the aircraft.
To follow the events as they happen, please visit Lufthansa Cargo’s Facebook Page. The event will take place between 11:30 and 1:30 UTC (12:30 to 2:30p Local German Time).

Austrian has been running this contest for the last couple of weeks that will ultimately award a lucky winner a pair of round trip economy tickets from Chicago to Vienna on AUSTRIAN.
Entering is fairly simple:
Visit www.TheSmileWall.com
Upload a photo showing your best smile
A random drawing will be held on or about November 24 to select the winner.
The contest ends at 11:59p EST on November 17 so there are still a few more days to enter. The contest is open only to legal residents of the continental US who are at least 18 years of age.
Other terms and conditions are available for your review right before you submit your entry. As I read through them, it was straight forward with the typical types of legal disclosures.

I’ve posted enough plane-spotting entries over the last 2 or 3 years from HKG that I’ve lost track of which version that I’m on so I figured #638 is a safe place to start. I also know that I’ve been there a lot since one of the fisherman that I shared the break-wall with last Saturday recognized me when he said “you are back again from America?, you like our airport?”…….I do, I do indeed! I would catch more airplanes than he would fish that day. Here is my “Stringer” of planes for now, I’ll have another installment tomorrow:
China Airlines 747-400
Cathay Pacific 747 Freighter
Cathay Pacific A330
Cathay Pacific 747-400 B-HKT
Another CX 747 – there would be several more!
Dragon Air A330 B-HYI
EVA’s 747-400 B16408
Hong Kong Airlines A330 Freighter
Jet Airways Boeing 777 VT-JER……
…..and VT-JEQ
Juneyao’s Airbus A320
Korean Air’s 777 HL7743
Philippines Airbus A340-300
A really beautiful A380 – Thai’s livery looks great on this aircraft
Took a walk over to the opposite runway for a few overhead shots – Arrivals were rare since it is the primary departure runway.
I think this makes my top-10 favorite list……
Speedbird’s A380 arrives from London Heathrow
