"Everyone loves a special livery". Umm...okay. I wonder if this is the beginning an airborne version of a Moby Lines ferry. Not quite yet, anyway.

Home for approximately the next ten hours! Lufthansa is one of the few airlines still flying the "Queen of the Skies", and the only passenger airline flying the newest and largest variant, the 747-8i. Yours looks to be the older 747-400 series. Have a great flight. We're flying out to Frankfurt on Friday, but we're doing the Icelandair thing which puts us on 757's, and it will be a transfer in Reykjavik (well, Keflavik to be more precise).

Godspeed to you, and hope the volcano doesn't blow before the end of your trip. We arrive in Reykjavik for the day on the 22nd. Seeing Godafoss on the 20th.

We're not doing an Iceland stopover on this trip. Thinking of doing an Iceland-only trip next summer. That's been on the bucket list for years, and with direct flights from Seattle, it's super easy to get there.

Nothing quite like the rush of walking down the jetway with the scent of the kerosene from the jet fuel!

Waiting in Frankfurt for our connecting flight. Our arrival was more or less on time, our gate or our connecting flight has had four gate changes. Lots of interesting liveries. Condor has almost as many as Braniff did. Here is but one example. Lufthansa is still flying their 747s as well as their A340 and 380s! Our 747 has certainly seen better days. 😞

Condor has almost as many as Braniff did. Here is but one example. Lufthansa is still flying their 747s as well as their A340 and 380s! Our 747 has certainly seen better days. 😞 I'm not sure what I think of Condor's new livery(ies). The striped beach towel look is certainly interesting, but I think it would look better with stripes on the fuselage and a solid color on the tail with a larger logo filling out the tail, not the tiny logo they have now, and larger Condor titles on the fuselage. That would look more cohesive to my eyes. On another note, Condor is one the airlines I considered flying to Europe this summer, particularly since they are flying their brand-new A330-900 NEO's to Seattle, but I ultimately chose Icelandair so we could fly into Frankfurt and out of Amsterdam on the return. Going with Condor would have meant backtracking to Frankfurt for the flight home. Also, Icelandair was still cheaper even with the multi-city routing. As for Lufthansa, I've got to think their 747-400's are in their last years. Seems like everyone else has ditched them, so it's surprising to me that LH still flies theirs. The 747-8i's are still new, so I imagine they will fly them for quite a number of years. LH, like other airlines, grounded the A380 during the pandemic, but those birds aren't very old, either, so it doesn't surprise me to see them re-activate that sub-fleet, especially with the higher than expected travel numbers this year. Before the pandemic, LH used to fly the 747-400's between Frankfurt and Seattle, but now I think that route is served by the A330's and A340's. The A340's are getting up their in years, too, so it won't surprise me to see those getting retired fairly soon.

Saw these on a shoot this afternoon! The owner was a pilot and at one time flew for Wardair. There was also a Handley Page manual as well.
