I'm starting off the month of June with a bit of a puzzler. There's nothing wrong with this picture, but there is something noteworthy about it. What's special about this picture?

There are three A340's in this photo, so maybe that's noteworthy?
ReplyDelete1) 3 A340s in one shot & 2)Last flight(s) of the Singapore A345 to LAX
ReplyDeleteThe SQ A345 will be retired soon?
ReplyDeleteHi from Singapore. Has it got to do with the singapore, swiss and lufthasa all being A340s?
ReplyDeleteOther than there being 3 Airbus A340's, I have nothing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe an A343, A345 and an A346?
ReplyDeleteSingapore air retires the a340-500 series? With that move the ultra-long non-stop will disappear. I think the SIN-EWR was the longest flight offered and LAX-SIN second longest. I read the end date was to be OCT but I spoke to a friend who flies the route often and she mentioned it was ending at the end of May.
ReplyDeleteNot sure but it is it the fact that there are 3 A340's in the shot
ReplyDeleteThe 340's from those carriers will be discontinued and replaced with other metal from each carrier....
ReplyDeleteThey've named a gate after you!
ReplyDeleteLAX is the only place in the world where you'll currently see LX, LH and SQ A340's in one place (and SQ will cease their A340 service this fall)?
ReplyDeleteGreg
Is that the last nonstop Singapore flight at the gate?
ReplyDeleteThree A340s??
ReplyDeleteEverybody's flying A340s? (except AA)
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fact that there are 3 different A340 variants in the same picture?
ReplyDeleteIs it the LH A340? I believe they usually have a 744 or 748 at LAX.
ReplyDeleteThere are 3 Star Alliance A340s in this picutre. Perhaps LAX is the only airport where you would find this combination?
ReplyDeleteThis is a picture of 3 different a340 versions. Swiss is an A340-300, Singapore is a a340-500 and the Lufthansa is a a340-600 series.
ReplyDeleteOther than seeing three different versions of the Airbus A340, I see nothing noteworthy on this pic. Soon, the A-340-500 will disappear from LAX when Singapore Airlines ( flying the A340-500 ) will end non-stop flights SQ37/SQ38.
ReplyDeleteI think Swiss International is planning to retire the A340-300 after ordering Boeing 777-300ERs.
Lufthansa A340-600s will be in service for quite a while to come, judging from previous fleet decisions of that company. Of course, it is possible LH sends other long-range aircraft, like the A380 or the 747-8i, to LAX.
At T4, on this side, A 767-300ER with winglets. On the far side, right to left, a 777 ( presumably a -200ER, judging from the 'old' paint scheme).
The tail in front of the Swiss belongs to a 737, we can just make out the dorsal fin. To its right, that winglet probably belongs to another 767.
I just noticed the wingtip to the left of the 777 ( right from our point of view). Does American still fly MD-80s to LAX? I think no regional jet uses this terminal.

Was this taken on June 1st? If so, that SWR A343 was boarding next to me as I boarded SWR038 to SFO.
ReplyDeleteNICE!!! 3 Airbus A340s representing all three A340 types, posted at 3:40pm.

All three variants of the A340 in one shot - Swiss A340-300, Singapore A340-500 and Lufthansa A340-600.
ReplyDeleteThree of the same type Airbus aircraft belonging to three different airlines.
ReplyDeleteThe Swiss A343 does not have engine logos/markings, which is relatively abnormal for LX... usually they opt for the rectangular version of their logo on the engine cowlings.
