A bit of special livery passing by on Friday 2-10-15

On friday the haze & thermal currents in the upper air presented quite a challenge for high level photos.
Some nice traffic passing but Lots of shots hit the bin.

Lufthansa B747-8 D-AYBT Retro Livery DLH430 FRA-ORD FL340.
A flickr reject for me..Poor photo due to camera shake. Darn it ! I would have liked a clear shot of this at a better angle. Not straight OTT and fuzzy.




Lufthansa D-AIGY A340 Star Alliance Livery FRA-YUL DLH478 FL360.
The catch of the day for me,as I am a self confessed A340 fan. For my type of photography, this a/c type makes a great subject.
This Lufty A343 looks very tidy indeed with its Star Alliance scheme newly installed in June this year.
Massive trail @ fl360, this is my best shot of 25 frames i rattled off as she passed by. I give my cameras a real work out !

Good shots there Radiostationx,I guess some of the bigger airlines are using the Avionics/underside bay area of the a/c as good advertising,nice clear shots considering the distance,and interesting text with it
great! Calflier.

Thanks Calflier,
Yes the advertising has become a trend in recent times.
I am unsure as to why BA do not slap a giant union flag decal or Crest + "To Fly,To Serve" on the underside of their A380 fleet, it is such a beautiful aircraft and IMHO it would look so much better.
I await a petition to be raised which I will gladly sign.

Lufthansa have not adopted this trend either but I envisage that this area could in the future become a flying advertising hoarding for other companies.

A VW/Audi logo on their a380s perhaps !

Think you are correct,this will be on more undersides in the future!.
