Smile Air France Over the Wing In-flight Photos/Videos

I want to give credit to aeroman380 for the great thread he started in the KL sub-forum
KLM Over the Wing In-flight photos/videos
Some great pictures have been posted there and I though it would be nice to have the same thread with pictures from AF planes. So, it's time to look for your pictures to be shared here
Let me start it !

ORY-AJA, descent to AJA




Take off from AJA to ORY






CDG-AMS, climbing over north Paris area, then descending to AMS

I have many, but on most of them one can not recognize it's a AF plane...
However I'll post the following series of 3 photos taken from an AF 777 (I think...) back from Montreal, where we crossed the road of an AF 380 while we were approaching CDG.

That's OK, we'll take you and everybody else on trust. Getting the wing(tip) or engine in the picture is hard enough, and even then it is not always possible to tell which airline it is anyway.

CDG-SIN February 2021



The distinctive view of the Singapore Strait on approach into SIN

The usual 77W has been replaced by a mere 787-9, rather unceremonious for a flagship route where AF used to put its best foot forward with "Ultra Business".

The keen eyed will notice the reflection of the titles over the engine.

A short-lived livery on a surreal April 2020 AMS CDG flight


Those blue winglets did have a nice touch.
