ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Frankfurt Airport 06-04-2024 [CIV]

Post by Krazy »

Not much of a story for this day unfortunately, just a 'pick a destination, because the sun will be shining' kind of day.

We arrived at 8 o'clock at Frankfurt, but the light was really bad. The sun was behind a set of clouds, but the rest around us was clear blue sky.

Challenging conditions that luckily improved quickly after that.

The day turned out to bring a lot of special livery planes, and I'll start with a golden Condor A330. A lot of the Condor planes have these stripes now in a few different colours, but they are still a nice deviation of the standard airline schemes.

ANA brought one of their Star Wars B787s. It was towed from the new terminal 3 to the other side of the field.

Middle Eastern Airlines brought their classic A320 with a 75 Years MEA livery. A nice change compared to their regular A321Ns

Talking about the middle east, Iran Air still has a flight to Frankfurt. They brought one of 2 A330s they have.

Iberia Regional seems to use its CRJ-1000s as advertising boards these days. Ah well, guess its not a regular white pencil plane..

TUI Fly has a number of B737s in different liveries. Three different ones showed up this day, starting with the Cewe Fotobuch livery.

Not everything is hauling passengers at Frankfurt. A lot of cargo goes through the airport as well.

The second of the TUI Fly liveries was the TUI Blue B737. Although TUI forgot to paint the T back after maintenance it seems..

During the day the occasional private plane visits Frankfurt. The F-HSMV is a Beech King Air 260.

This B747 may look standard from this angle but it does have something special as it is the 1500th B747. It has a marking just above the serial, but I only noticed it when it landed. The last 0 of the 1500 is just visible behind the leftmost engine.

Eurowings discover was rebranded to Discover a while ago. I must say I like this livery.

Back to some more special liveries after those two. The D-ANNA from Sundair sports a "Katta macht Urlaub" livery

It was followed by a red condor.

Another Lufthansa plane with a milestone marking. The D-AIEQ is the 600th Airbus delivered to Lufthansa.

Icelandair brought a B757-200 for their flight to Frankfurt.

Another B787 from far away. Mongolian Airlines brought the EI-MGL

Different variation. A green condor this time.

The third special from TUI Fly dropped in. RIU Hotels & Resorts.

Normally the Aerologic/DHL cargohaulers take the Nordwestbahn (25R). This means taking pictures of these from the spottingpoint at 25L is not an option. This one did use 25L, and I don't complain.

To close the day off a first visit to Frankfurt. The YR-WOW from HiSky Europe.

During the almost 5 hours spent at Frankfurt, we photographed more then 130 aircraft. I will upload more to the Flickr album in the upcoming days if you also want to see some of the more regular planes at Frankfurt.

Hope you like them!

Regards!
