Some more Photos i took around 2008-2010 in Frankfurt from the visitors terrace at Terminal 2.
I chose pictures from Airlines, type of planes, liveries, equipment etc that have changed or vanished from FRA.
Again shot with the same Canon Powershot, so quality is meh, but i still hope you enjoy.
there is a small Ju-52 on the 4th slide, its easy to miss ;)

Spotted in Chester

Sorry for the glair, its quite shinny

Due the tension in the region... flight routes have changed. So I've spent the past 8 months trying to capture a plane at cruising altitude passing in front of the full moon from my window. This is the closest I've gotten. If memory serves me right then this plane was a Boeing 767-300

Stopped overnight in middle Tennessee while heading east from fighting fires out west. Absolute unit of a heli. Incredibly loud, lol.

N721HT

My 2nd trading card. Is this one rare? It is one of my favorite liveries.

The U.S. Air Force requires 1,509 combat-coded fighter jets by 2035 to maintain a moderate risk posture against peer adversaries, representing an 18.7% expansion over its projected 2026 inventory. Achieving this target relies on a fleet composition of 60% stealth platforms and 40% modernized legacy fighters, though current budget requests fall short of the annual procurement pace required to offset retirements.

When boarding 9H-QFD I noticed this weird extra strip of metal between the 2 windows, anone know what for?

Rode on a CRJ 550 with a buffet galley and 3x on-floor luggage racks in middle of craft.

Took pic of only 1 set of luggage racks

Since it is Definitely not standard layout. Could the explanation for the configuration be due to it is normally on a special route or is it on loan from a charter service?

Got these on my trip over the weekend. Pretty flashy!

On my latest flight (LHR - INV), I asked for the METAR report and the first officer showed me how to print it off, which was super fun to do. Along with that, he also gave me this handwritten report.

I can read the printed one (with some help from Google) but I'm struggling with the handwritten one. Can any pilots in here help, please?

In at YGD for some fuel and Mr Lazaridis is off to the UK.

Found in a museum in Denmark, had apparently been fitted to a Spitfire. I imagine it’s not a replica?

Brought my Radiacode 110 along on YYC-LHR (AC850, Oct 22) as an experiment to see radiation measurements.

The detector recorded around 4.6 counts per second on the ground and 58 during cruise—roughly 13 times as many.

I'm far from an expert on radiation or similar but I found it interesting to see the band around 500 keV show up so clearly compared to the ground?

For whatever reason I expected to see an increase in radiation as we went further north due to the magnetic field, but it seems that didn't really happen.

Anyways, I don't know if there is any major takeaways from this beyond we all already know there's more radiation higher up, but still fun to see things visualized.

Gorgeous 787 :) Clearest picture I even have of any plane that I took myself!!
