Hi all, with the kind offer of MichielR to have Saraoutou also putting a pic up since he had one right of the 2 MichielR posted, we now have a kind of 2 lines in parallel. Given my utter lack of pictures (I have maybe 3 either too difficult or too easy left - I was thinking showing some broken escalators, guess where that would be ;-)) - I am happy to follow the Saraoutou branch which would imply that MichielR has the turn now, since he guessed the Lima picture of Saraoutou right. MichielR, fine with you? Then please take the honor to post the next one.

Ach, I see the things solved itself already. We continue with the FRA picture. I also would have put my bet on FRA but if it is, Saraoutou got it first..

As it is FRA (nothing tricky with that photo) indeed saraoutou is up next again.

I don't want to! Obligation to post another pic is getting awkward ;-). It is about time omikron kills al restrictions and that we can travel again.

I agree that Omicron should put its shoulder to the wheel and get on with it as quickly as possible, but travel has been possible all through the pandemic. A bit more planning, creativity and effort were at times required, but not all that much, and some countries were of course inaccessible at times. Testing requirements and lots of (mostly silly) rules were and still are a pain, but picking the right destinations minimizes the annoyance.

Many no doubt have cogent and compelling reasons for not venturing abroad, but for those who did not, or were just happy to take their chances, there was no shortage of destinations to visit. I was initially surprised at the number of aged and disabled travelers I encountered on planes, in trains, on ships, at hotels, etc, but only in the beginning.

Given that it's a Lufty 737, the picture must be of similar age, if not slightly older. The last I've seen one was 2014-2015, but by then, they were only stored.

@ the current picture, obvious cheap shot is TPE, but it doesn't feel quite right. I'm intrigued by the tug in the background. Does it possibly say TAM? But then neither GRU nor GIG seem to fit the picture.

That was 2016. They were almost all retired by then IIRC.

A new record: 3 minutes. And I even cropped a BA plane out of the picture
