My first ever encounter with a Boeing 747-100. To make the occasion ever special, it turned to be the last flying Passenger 747-100 in the World! She was 33 years old while I took this photo. Something I could have never guessed. She came in as a replacement for the Boeing 747SP, which usually operated this flight. Seen here lining up Runway 27 for her flight back to Tehran. It took me a while to realize how rare this moment was! Wish I had spotted her more times.

I went for plane spotting after months, and the first thing I got to see was this beauty! Yemen Airways usually operates its A320 to Mumbai, but luckily on this day they sent their Airbus A310
