Future A6-EXE

An exact remake of the take off shot I took of this Antonov in 2014 in Johannesburg, only now with a Ukraine registration.

First test flight of msn 2097, this will be delivered as 9M-MNK

This image clearly shows the Airbus A380 only has thrust reversers installed on the inboard engines.

Nederlands Transport Museum closed for business in March 2023. The former liquor factory was to be used for a future housing project. They were forced to find a new location, although several locations were evaluated, it never came to the construction of a new building for the museum and it's collection. The collection is not just airplanes but all forms of transport including cars, and trains, an exceptional collection. The museum will now close for ever. Some objects are up for auction. On 9 May 2025 the museum was temporary open to view the objects on auction. This DC-2 was not for sale !

Repainted in the full regular Lufthansa c/s, after having been a Star Alliance billboard for years. Repainted during a one month stay at Chateauroux in December 2024. Lufthansa widebodies no longer operate out of Dusseldorf, however this one seems to have been in for a two day maintenance visit. Explaining the short take off run, for a short hop to Frankfurt.

Disappointment of the day, the brand new Egypt Air B737, showed up in all white. Not even a small sticker, just plain white. Ex Oman Air A4O-BW started flying for Egypt Air on 8 April 2025, and has been used mainly on Domestic flights in Egypt.

New Max delivered to NEOS on 25 March 2025

Ex Virgin America, Alaska Airlines and Aero K (Korea) A320, joined Nesma Airlines from Egypt in March 2025. Both western and Arabic titles on this side of the fuselage, other side only has the airline name in Arabic only.

Now painted in full A Jet c/s, perviously in Turkish and AnadoluJet c/s with the same registration and name.

Late 2024 Turkish added several second hand A320 to their huge fleet. This one is ex TACA and Avianca N685TA. But the strange thing is that this registration is out of sequence with all other Turkish Airlines registrations. It is could be because it is operating under A-Jet or AnadoluJet flight numbers. But why would it be in full Turkish c/s then ? Delivered Miami -Opa Locka to Istanbul on 20 and 21 December 2024, first commercial flight on 9 January 2025. (Based on FR24 historical data).
