Looks like it was cargo day at FRA last Sunday

[Micha]

Spotted a BUNCH of cargo planes last Sunday Strange enough, this was the first time I spotted a DHL plane although there are always 2-3 of them parked on the ramp

I spotted some other nice non-cargo planes too The airline Clickair was new to me

Micha,

It looks like you are a spotter.
Well here are a few pictures for you :
This is what I handle/maintain everyday to make a living.
I love that job...


The first one a Cathay Pacific Cargo B747-200, an aircraft I handle since 2002, in Paris then here in Osaka.. Ijust love to work on the classic jumbos...







This one is a converted passenger aircraft into a fulltime cargo, B747-300. Dragnair has been bought by Cathay, my company, last year.




The JAL is not actually an aircraft I handle but it was such a beauty, actually brand new from the Boeing factory.




In KIX ( Kansai-Japan ), I handle Lufthansa everyday. This one ( A340-300 ) has the special nose painted during the soccer world cup in Germany...




But usually Lufthansa comes in KIX with the mighty A340-600, everyday.
This one is an improved A340, fitted with much more powerfull RR engines, improved fuel system, different center landing gear...
This aircraft is not easy to handle, very challenging, keeps us very busy !


A340-600 cockpit




Proper Rolls-Royce engines ( huge compared to the A340-300 CFM "hair dryers" )


A few wheels....


I hope you enjoy...

cheers / Pierre

Nice pictures Micha, thanks!
I've never seen a Clickair too. Spanish judging by the registration.
