an obliquely overhead view of a Lufthansa 787. much of the fuselage is dark blue, with a large white crane (Lufthansa's logo) on it. the wings of the aircraft are also painted white, and they are aligned with the crane on the fuselage so as to suggest that they are the crane's wings.
i didn't realize until today that Lufthansa's special 100th-anniversary paint scheme deliberately casts the airplane's wings as the wings of the crane. very cool.

Todayβs second aerial steed of conveyance.

There was a time it was mostly Q400s into RDM, then mostly E175s, now there are 737s in the mix with the population growth in Central Oregon.

Terminal B at LGA is such a change from the old βLa Garbageβ terminals. Doesnβt seem that long ago that DAL, MDW, and LGA had those old and dingy terminals that made the Port Authority bus station in NYC look upscale.

Itβs nice being a Gold 75K flyer with them. Being on the road a lot for work isnβt always easy but happily Alaska is one outfit that never fails to take the edge off.

My #AvGeek happy places- the Alaska #Airlines lounges at SEA!
I'm usually at the N Gates lounge or the C Gates lounge, but this time spending time at the D Gates lounge as my flight from RDM arrived at D3 and my GO HOME FLIGHT to DFW leaves from D4.

#OTD in 1962, LtCol John Glenn orbited the earth three times. Glenn earned only $8 which included his basic pay and flight pay. The 5 hour flight was not long enough to earn a per diem. Plus he was not reimbursed for mileage because he flew a government vehicle.
