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.

Today’s first aerial steed of conveyance. It’s a beautiful morning here in Central Oregon to fly! Got first class upgrades on both of my legs home.

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 β€œLa Garbage” terminals. Doesn’t 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.

It’s nice being a Gold 75K flyer with them. Being on the road a lot for work isn’t always easy but happily Alaska is one outfit that never fails to take the edge off.

The kids play area at Terminal B of #LGA hearkens back to the old control tower. Love it.

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.

My second appointed sky chariot from this past Tuesday when I traveled CLT-DEN-RDM.

N820UA / #Airbus A319 / United #Airlines
UA2082 / DEN-RDM / 18 Feb 2025.

Mildly amused the tail number and flight number used the same numbers. I’m a dork.

Bit of a frigid and unexpectedly snowy morning here in Central Oregon. My inner avgeek does a dance when I get a ride on Alaska’s -700s.
