My first 747 flight was on BA from London Heathrow, "City of Kensington", then a stop for fast food at Shannon, Ireland; because, the food service workers' for BA were on strike; then, on to Miami airport.

Saw a girl I new from elementary school thru high school on the flight, Jennifer Witherspoon.
Where is she now?
QF: Seems to be a target drone per the "QF" but for the GIF & GIB in their seats.

Hi Gary!

Wow! I know you have a lot of stops already, but a side trip to KFAT (on the way to Lemoore) and maybe KCMA might be good spotting locations if you can work them in. I'm very impressed as is though! Hoosier Cheers!!
Hey, Uwe and C.W. >>> Howdy, guys. I'm just back from the week-long photo trip around NV and northern CA and I get a couple days rest before leaving again this Thursday for another week-long road trip thru central and southern Cal. First stop this Thursday will be SUU and then on to SJC. Will also be visiting NAS Lemoore, Paso Robles, LAX, Palm Springs, and the Jedi Transition (Panamint). Getting back here just in time for a week-long shoot at the PRS and after that another full day at a military base. I'm home (FINALLY) on June 13th. Exhausting --- but AWESOME!! (Wave)

Chris ... No problem, my friend. I'm a bit knowledgeable of UA's info during the 60s because I was born and raised in Buffalo, and back in my teen years (the 60s) UA, AA, and EA were the three national carriers serving Buffalo. I (sort of) "lived" at Buffalo's Airport thru the 60s until I enlisted. (Grin - Until recently, I still had a ton of airlines timetable booklets. And I can still specifically remember ... the counter agents at Mohawk, American, Eastern, and Allegheny would just smile and give a Thumbs Up when we'd go up and grab the newest timetable from the counter, but the counter gals at United would get upset and insist we put them back because "those cost money to print and they are for paying passengers." So, we'd just go up to someone standing in the check-in line and ask that "paying passenger" to grab one. Then, after the pax had checked his / her bags and gotten a boarding pass, we'd just meet them and get our new timetable.) Anyway, that's why I know about the Friendship livery. UA had a "Fly the Friendly Skies" slogan and the Friendship livery was introduced to reinforce that sales slogan.
Written on 19/05/2019 by Gary Schenauer
And a PS to my last sentence: Now that the brand new United livery has been unveiled and is "in the skies" (as of last month), I'm hearing that United may be resurrecting that old slogan and might again be advertising for people to "Fly the Friendly Skies." I suppose if they do that, then we can refer to it as the "Retro Slogan" because that's the slogan they were using over 50 years ago. And BTW, I'm glad UA has adopted new paint. Can't wait to snap one of their fleetbirds wearing it.
I just caught that it is D-AIXM, sorry for the mistake and time it took for me to correct.

This and the Alaska photos are great. Where did you spot from? I took this same plane yesterday on final from the north and will be posting yesterday's outing soon. This angle can be achieved from Ft. Mifflin and Governor Printz Park but to hit that terrific sun angle boggles me.
HFF's DC-3 was delivered in 1944 as a C-47B from the Douglas plant at Long Beach, CA.

Chalet - "senior officers above colonel level and equivalent at all services never fly fighter jets" I don't know about such a rule. Take for example Col. Robin Olds and Operation Bolo a few years back. Another would be BGen Frank J. Collins who flew F-4's until his retirement.

Also, this is not UA's "Friendship" livery. Three obvious clues. 1) The "Friendship" livery was similar; however, it featured four stars on the tail and four stars on the fuselage by the UNITED title. 2) This pic is identified as being taken in the 60s. The Friendship livery appeared in the 70s. 3) No UA 100 series 727 ever wore the Friendship livery.

The call sign of this Super Bug was "Hobo Two." "Hobo One" had departed about ten seconds earlier.

Actually, this is an early 727-100. In my opinion, better looking than the 200! Cheers!!
