Remarks: This picture was taken after flight LH044 (MUC-HAM) on 01 Mar 2008 during storm “Emma” (gusting up to 47kts), performed on LH Airbus A320 D-AIQP named after the city of “Suhl”. In the moment of touch down on Rwy23 a wind gust from the right struck the aircraft, lifting the right wing and causing the aircraft to roll. Consequently the left wing was pushed down, and the wingtip hit the ground. The pilots performed a go-around at the last moment. Even though we landed safely on Rwy33 a good ten minutes later, it wasn´t the best flight experience ever to be airborne with a broken wing… A video of the incident can be found on the common video platforms. Picture taken from seat 27A. I apologize for the poor photo quality.
Remarks: [1280px] Truck/engine size comparison of B-16703, one of currently 15 B777-300ER (with 10 more on order) of Eva Air, shortly after arrival from TPE.
Remarks: [1280px] Loads of sun + snow on the ground resulted in a fantastic light! Nevertheless I was the only photographer at the location that day (at -13 degrees)...!
Remarks: My first time ever at ATH [arrival 00:10 from ZRH, departure 07:30 to GVA], and I was impressed: nice terminal, extremely friendly staff, reasonable prices, clean and welcoming atmosphere - and the best, its operative 24 hrs! Great short visit.
