More from my Plane Spotting while in Frankfurt in late November. As in Part I and Part II, I spent most of my time at the Affenfelsen observation platform that is located approximately half way down Runway 18 which is of course a North/South runway and is only used for departures. A few highlights for this part include one of Lufthansa Cargo’s 777 Freighters, a Kuwaiti A340, Etihad’s Formula 1 A340 and a few others unique birds.

To continue with my Dulini Lodge trip reports, Part IV will be comprised solely of a Cheetah that within a few minutes managed to share several facial expressions. We came across her during an early morning Game Drive in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and followed her for the better part of an hour. We were hoping for a hunt, but she had other ideas such as simply laying comfortably under a tree entertaining the ‘tourists’. Nevertheless I came away with several shots capturing her many expressions some of which are perhaps my favorite shots from the entire Safari.
You’ll notice in these photographs that I used Dulini’s logo as a watermark. The reason for this is that I had given permission to the Lodge to use these photos on their website, Facebook, Twitter and other Social Media outlets so instead of reprocessing the photos to have my ‘Aero-Shots’ watermark, I simply kept Dulini’s to save some time.
To get caught up on my previous Safari Posts, here’s is the index:
Part I: Cheetah vs. Wild Dogs vs. Warthog
Part II: A Leopard & Her Dinner
Part III: Tlangisa & Her Cubs
Enjoy!
I was hoping this stare was a precursor to a hunt but unfortunately it did not turn out that way. However this photo was voted as “Best Of Safari” by Mrs. LHFlyer.
For a moment, I thought she saw something of interest other than myself…..
Not exactly demonstrating her ‘Fastest Animal In The World’ capabilities…..
She must be bored by now….
My favorite expression of all the shots.
Ominous threat? Not hardly, just a well drawn out yawn…..
Gesundheit……

In the spirit of Lufthansa’s #InspiredBy campaign, the airline has put together a contest that awards the winner a trip to Leipzig, Germany (Click here to be taken to the Contest’s homepage).
The Prize Package includes 2 Economy Class tickets on Lufthansa from one of their USA gateways, 4 nights accommodation at the Hotel Furstenhof Leipzig and a variety of Museum, Sightseeing and Dining excursions.
The contest is ‘Pinterest’ based and requires a few steps to be taken in order to be eligible.
To start with, you’ll need to ‘Pin’ one of the images that Lufthansa has provided on the contest’s entry page onto your own Pinterest page:
There are several more images, but ‘screen capture’ couldn’t fit all of them in!
The rules also say that if you have your own photo that is in the spirit of the contest, you can post it and add the hashtag of #InspiredBy and #JoinGermanTradition or #Germany25Reunified by itself. It may be easier to just pin one of their suggested images!
The contest runs through December 30, 2014 and is only available to legal residents of the USA. For more of the fine print, please refer to the terms/conditions.
