D-AIFA
May 29th, 2006 by Mike

Poor Reggie. We just came back from a long walk, and he’s exhausted. We absolutely must get a fan for the bedroom soon. My friend Steven offered up his air conditioner since he moved into a new condo with central air. I do believe we’re going to take him up on that.

Memorial Day. It’s a good day at the beginning of the summer to do stuff around the house. I, being the apartment dweller, chose not to do such things.  Instead, I went to a movie, see X3, and I spent some time near the airport. I got a few decent shots, but nothing stellar.  These were taken at quite a distance with a digital camera as dusk was approaching. The photography gods were not smiling upon me. As soon as I got there, I missed a great shot of a Northwest Airlines A330 taking off.

May I present N618DL, a Boeing 757-200, operated by Delta Airliners.

And N708UW, an Airbus A319 operated by US Airways.

Okay, I did come across something pretty cool. I’ve been drooling over the Lufthansa A340s lately. Well here is D-AIFA, operating as Lufthansa flight LH420 from Frankfurt. This is one of the few Lufthansa aircraft that have their nose cones painted to represent a football (European football, that is) to promote the World Cup which is being hosted by Germany this year.

I have to say that living near Logan has reignited my passion for planes.  I may register mikelikesplanes.com to keep a sub-blog about aviation and planes similar to what I do for mikehasms.com

Anyway, I’m off to bed. My lunch for tomorrow is packed and it’s going to be a long day. We have two new interns starting. Lets hope they’re good ones.
