München-Riem

1990-06-26 (26 June 1990)

 

D-AIDB (1) Fürth

Airbus A310-304

484

Lufthansa

 

D-AIDB on stand 5, one of only six stands directly docking on to boarding bridges at Riem. Seen from east to west with the rest of the stands behind. I think four of them are occupied.

 

D-AIDB was the only A310 to be painted in an experimental yellow-and-white Lufthansa colour scheme when still registered as F-WWCI in September 1988 but never delivered as such.

 

Later, the airframe would end three decades of A310 operations with Luftwaffe (German Air Force). Having been acquired by RCAF as a spare parts source, it flew its final sortie to Montreal-Mirabel (YMX/CYMX) on 21 June 2022. (Source: flightglobal.com)

 

Note: D-AIDB (2) is Airbus A321-231 c/n 4545 delivered to Lufthansa in December 2010 and still active in 2025.
