Hm. The Boeing Bob has left us? Why am I not really very sad about that almost always angry (!) wannabe 747 jetphotos Original...
3WE, you know me since more than 15 years, I'm definitely not a man who suffers from too big cochones.
I rather have more doubts in my aviation skills than less.
But there is one 747 jetphotos forum avatar, join date December 2008, and there was one 747 Atlas jetphotos forum avatar, join date June 2009 (as far as I remember).
And Bob really asked Alex to delete his account? Well, obviously I should be here at least a little bit more often.
The air for my beloved B744 really seems to become thinner. But we still are in the air, and I so very very much love it! https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/11302938
PS: I mean, I believe you when you say that he's not a...
4. The Harmonicats Live - Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White . This is a song from 1960, while the band was founded by Jerry Murad in 1947. And this melody stayed with the Band also
in 1970 and at least until 1990, so for more than 30 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHBtoTdc7nE
This seems to be a good song and a good video to bid farewell to Mr Rolf Kalb, who after 35 years will soon switch off his microphone forever.
Well, Rolf. I don't know what your music taste is like. But my father was born in the year 1945. So, that normally is the year when I start to look for music which I probably shared with my father (if he were still alive..).
1. Mitch Miller - The River Kwai March 1957 - Also in sounding remembrance of Jeremy Clarkson (*1960) who between 1988 and 2021 was an infamous moderator of the BBC's 'Top Gear',
after 1998 together with Richard Hammond (*1969) and James May (*1963). Again, you can't buy men and their voices, not for good and much money. The only exception is Clarkson May and Hammond who since 2016 sell their voices on Amazon. The only sad thing is, I've never paid Amazon for one of these voices.
I've never in my life been a fan of Pay TV, although Clarkson's voice and his German voice Eric Schäffler (*1961) could be a reason to sign a Pay TV customer contract.
But as I since more than 15 years provide words and self made pictures here on this...
And now the sensation for this Monday night, Rolf calls Dominic Dale 'an oldie' . Now I suddenly feel old. Dominic is not 7 years older than me... But I can almost smell what Rolf means...
In the year of the lord 1995, there a movie was brandnew, and this movie is called 'Con Air'. And I can almost say the dialogues in this movies by heart, because that's one of my favorite movies.
'Ich kann es fast riechen..'. The pilot said before they almost escaped to freedom, from Wendover airfield to the Las Vegas Strip, in a Fairchild C-123 twin propeller.
So. Obviously, 'an oldie' applies for everyone who is ... HA, older than... 45?
Then I like to welcome Rolf Kalb, Dominic Dale, Seahawk and me to the 'an oldie' club.
PS: I like Mr Kalb so very much. Was machen wir in 3 Wochen nur ohne Rolf? Let me wonder another 2 or 5 hours about Mr Kalbs early retirement ... ,
together with Mr Mick Fleetwood...
And always Rolf gives us the kind of info, which is not to be found in wikipedia. During the last 30 minutes, I was lookin for the referee between Milkins and Pang. But Rolf was faster.
Paul Collier (*1970) is a Welsh Snooker referee since 1992. And if you today see him, I wonder what I look like in 8 years... as good as him, with silver hair, and a very professional standing.. https://www.wst.tv/referees/paulcollier
PS: Collier was the youngest Snooker World Championship final referee in the year 2004....
Stuart Bingham (*1976) has reached the next round in the Crucible. Who somehow makes me happy, ... also with 40 years and more you are good for the next round.
And now we switch to table #2, where Robert Milkins (*1976) is able to achieve 3:3 in frames.
PS: Sometimes these very young Chinese seem as if they were only 16. Or what would you say, Rolf.
That also nobody of the other German Snooker moderators don't say it like that. Mostly they say, der Gegner benötigt Foul Punkte.
And what I'll also miss, die Kalbsche Pause.
Well, after more than 15 years here on this platform, now I have a little problem. I am not able to participate in this very very very very very great hashtag, because I've never in my life been a
member of twitter.
For 35 years he is the German voice of Snooker, and you really can't buy such a voice again, not for good and much money. His name is Mr Rolf Kalb (*1959), and for me it will be very hard to no longer hear him on the microphone, because Hückelhoven here on this airport is a well known area. He speaks German, but with a sound which very much reminds people with my home airport
of home. Der spricht so wie wir.
With Rolf Kalb as a good teacher, I was able to learn the basic rules of Snooker. So, what can I say. Was machen wir denn jetzt ohne Rolf Kalb? First of all, we can enjoy him, he again is with us
during the 2024 World Snooker Championship in the Crucible. But then, comparable to President Obama, he will do his final Mic Drop:...
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).
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).
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.
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 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...
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....
