Parking positions for the bigger Overseas jets...

Oh my dear friend. Swiss and German aviation for years and decades have seemed like undestroyable, stable like a rock, without a doubt, 200% safe.

But even since I am here, Gabriel, and I've looked it up, between the both of us are almost exactly 11 months concerning the jetphotos join date ( 01-18 and 12-12 of the year 2008_),
we both know at least 1 case where the famous Swiss and German aviation stability at least somehow was shaken.

I own a sheet of paper where I write down aviation incidents worldwide, and what you say very strongly reminds me of Samstag, 4. August 2018 .
[With a German Flight Captain on an A320 a few years earlier, March 2015, aviation history was cruel enough, RIP Captain Patrick ...]

from my sheet of paper, and as a try, without translation. If you need translation, of course I'll translate:
type: Junkers Ju-52


reg: HB-HOT
Baujahr: 1939 - also zumindest in großen Teilen, Rumpf, Flügel,...

Well, my dear member. For such a question you are almost a little bit too far advanced... !

I became a jetphotos Junior Member back then in December 2008. We can ask seahawk (we share our home airport), if he's able to remember when I reached
jetphotos member status (100 forum entries),
afaik only 5 or 6 months after I became a Junior member. And I must publish a little jetphotos secret of mine, before I became a Junior member, I already was what you can call a passive member,
reading jetphotos at least since 2006.

And yes, with 1000 helpful useful or at least funny and friendly forum entries we all sooner or late have become a Senior.

Beyond the Senior there doesn't happen so very much. Afaik, we don't need more administrators. But what always is possible, to become friend of an administrator (but only if he's a couple of weeks younger than you).

Very very very dear greetings to Alex. ...

As the question already has been solved by the moderator,

C, of course. 1989. And I had at least one or two questions in my mind, together with the correct answer.

Where have you been in the moment of the Fall of the Wall? and.

Why exactly don't German schools teach their pupils newer German history, i.e. everything which happened after April 30th 1945?!


PS: In my eyes, April 30th after almost 79 years is a red-letter day, ein Feiertag!

I can say, that I don't know the answer because I was at school! At school we never had newer German history after April 1945.

But I probably should still be able to give you the year the month the day and even the correct time when where what and by whom contracts were signed
during WW I (1914-1918_) , Ludendorff, OHL, ....

Which I can't. Too boring, compared to newer German history (after April 1945).

But back on topic now, if we...

I think I can confirm what Tom said. But what an old old very old photo we are talkin about here..

Only 6 or 8 months younger than my avatar (which of course is a jetphoto). And again I like to do something against my language barrier, ... a Ferris wheel must be the No 5
on this little jet, although I've not so often seen a green one, in German 'Riesenrad'.

London is very probable. Vienna doesn't show so many 'round' or 'elliptical' cabines. And all the other big wheels would rather take place on a LH-B744 livery (or comparable),
so to speak, all the other big wheels are outside of Europe (?). Only a rough guess.

PS: And those were the days when Lufthansa was allowed to officially use the word Moscow, as part of a worldwide shown livery? Quite impossible and unthinkable if you ask me today...

The German edition of 'Who wants to be a millionaire' recently contained a question which fits quite perfectly to this livery......

Well. As this week by someone was started with a crash of a 984 ft long cargo ship into a really beautiful now no longer existent Interstate I-695 bridge, let's talk about..
the bigger Overseas pedal boats and where the parking positions are.
Since the end of the pestilence again allows us to fly with our beloved passengers and not only with empty B744 jets to avoid that LH-B744 Flight Captains lose their B744 skills,
aviation history again shows interesting developments.

Afaik, the BA-B744 really is aviation history. None of these jets have survived the pestilence. So, what do they do on the British Island? They really fly again the
bigger than big jet. I like to find out the destination for this one, with not only a radius 36,0 m parking position for B744, but also at least one official radius 46,0 m parking position for A388.

And that's why I love jetphotos. If you know how the database...

March 2021 - A similar accident as in Baltimore before has happened, in Egypt. An incredibly huge overseas freighter hammers down (dt.: einschlagen)
the bank slope of the Suez Canal.
In the morning of March 23rd 2021 (always in March, all and every 3 years...) Egyptian local time 07:40 the
Suez Canal
by the impact of a more than 1300 ft long Overseas freighter into the bank slope (Uferböschung) was strongly battered.

The gigantic Overseas freighter who has caused the accident in March 2021 was the Ever Given, of the Evergreen shipping line. The Ever Given under the flag of Panama by then was on her way
from Malaysia to Rotterdam, a short spec sheet...
[I can add that if you like.]

To make a long story short. Try to imagine you are captain on the MV Dalia, captain on bridge. With a nice cup of coffee you look portside outside the windows. And then
the Ever Given comes midships.

I've never felt small in my whole...

[LH-B744]

Wow. Fast response, I love that

But you probably haven't read yet everything that I've added to my number one entry here since 01:00 CET (Central European Winter Time).

And I have closed my number one entry here with a question. A question that also you might have wondered...

Nevertheless, very very VERY dear greetings from Europe across the pond to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean !

I still wonder how a jetphotos junior member should be treated who's here since less than two weeks. Ok, he has tried to upload a so called 'photoshopped' photo
into the jetphotos database queue, i.e. a photo which is not Original any longer, and that not only once, but he tried it twice with exactly the same altered Original (?) .

But people are young, I was young 15 years ago when I became a jetphotos member. So, I assume that this is a sentence which should be there for all new jetphotos members all the time,
every time when they log in, within the first 4 weeks at least:
Do not try to upload altered Originals! You better visit the place again and come back with a photo that fulfils the jetphotos quality criteria and the jetphotos photo upload criteria.

I dont' know if there is such a friendly help for all new members. But back on topic.

Baltimore.

In the night from Monday to Tuesday March 26th 2024 01:27 a.m. local...

[LH-B744]

Hm. Yes. I can confirm that...

But I also wonder what has happened here. We talk about a Jetphotos Junior Member who joyfully has joined our beloved forum on March 15th 2024, so, he (or she) is a forum member
not yet since 2 weeks.

And (let's say he's male) he has now received a ban until September 2024?

Again, I don't know yet what has happened here, but in my eyes and with this brandnew shiny member, a 6 months ban really seems a bit harsh....
