With a now defunct Swissair B747 and MD-80 behind her,
Air Canada's Boeing B767-233(ER) C-GAVF (f/n 612) seen on
push-back at Zürich's Kloten Airport thirty years ago in October 1986
Delivered to Air Canada on the 21st of November 1984 she was ex N6066U and had c/n 22528.
In the original image the whole aircraft was visible along with the Control Tower but back in the days of film this was the first on the reel and suffered by having the emulsion way 'over exposed' to a lovely orange colour all across that section of the slide - hence the crop!

Over its career, engine power for the Lockheed P2V Neptune maritime patrol aircraft had increased steadily, but maximum gross weight had also increased significantly. Consequently, some of the performance characteristics of the P2V-5 variant suffered. In 1953, Lockheed engineers added two 3,250-pound thrust Westinghouse J34-WE-34 turbojet engines in underslung pods to increase power on takeoff and to improve dash speed. First fitted to a U.S. Navy Neptune (Bureau Number 128363), the pods proved highly successful and were retrofitted on most US and international P2V-5s. Those aircraft were redesignated as P2V-5F. This photo appears to be a test of the first modified aircraft’s flight performance using only the jet engines for propulsion, but it certainly looks odd with the airplane flying and its propellers feathered.

TEM2-200 of Orlen KolTrans, shunting with tank-wagons full of jet fuel at the new jet fuel terminal near Warsaw Chopin Airport. The terminal is located next to the Warszawa Okęcie station (freight group) and replaced the old and small terminal closer to the runway at Gordon Benett Street. Anyway, the old terminal was owned by Petrolot, a joint venture of PLL LOT and Orlen, what to some extent monopolized fuel supply to the airport. Currently, both Orlen and Lotos can supply jet fuel to the new terminal. The current demand is so strong, that there is one train a day on average. June 13, 2021.

TEM2-200 spółki Orlen KolTrans, manewruje z beczkami z paliwem "jet" na nowym terminalu paliw lotniczych nieopodal Lotniska Chopina w Warszawie. Terminal ulokowany jest przy samej stacji Warszawa Okęcie (grupa towarowa) i zastąpił stary i mały terminal bliżej pasu startowego przy ulicy Gordona Benetta. Zresztą stary terminal był własnością spółki Petrolot, a więc joint venture PLL LOT i Orlenu, co w pewnym stopniu monopolizowało dostawy paliw na lotnisko. Aktualnie zarówno Orlen jak i Lotos dostarczają paliwo do nowego terminalu, a zapotrzebowanie jest tak spore, że średnio jest jeden pociąg dziennie. 13 czerwca 2021 roku.

A flying wing jet bomber. We are currently looking into the pros and cons of jets vs propellers for this aircraft, and it seems that jets allow higher speeds while propellers give longer flight range.

During flight testing taken in 2009. Couple weeks later it was delivered to that airline and is flying for them since then.

Supersonic Jet **This is not my photograph. Please do not repost. I'm sorry I don't remember where I found it but it's AWESOME!
I had an old roll of medium format 120 film developed over the winter that had been sitting in my Holga for several years. This shot was exposed March 30, 2013.
The Jet Star rollercoaster was separated from Casino Pier during Hurricane Sandy.
Long time...REALLY long time, no speaky. I do drop in from time to time to see and catch up on photostreams. I recently got an email about flickr being acquired by SmugMug and was curious if others were going to delete their accounts or agree to the terms with the new boss? Hate to not be able to see everyone's stuff after all of these years.
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version, plus DeNoise AI 23-Nov-22.
Ex Sabena, operated by DAT Delta Air Transport with the dark blue SABENA titles removed from above the forward cabin windows (note also on the rear fuselage, the titles 'Flying Together (blank)' It originally said 'with Swissair', those titles were also removed).
First flown with the British Aerospace test registration G-6-340, this aircraft was leased to SABENA Belgian World Airlines as OO-DWH in Dec-98. It was immediately sub-leased to SABENA subsidiary, DAT Delta Air Transport, who operated some European services on their behalf.
SABENA ceased operations in Nov-11 (see note below) but DAT managed to keep going, operating limited European services using SABENA's flight code 'SN'. The company was renamed SN Brussels Airlines in Feb-02.
The 'SN' prefix was dropped in Mar-07 when the company merged with Virgin Express Airlines to form Brussels Airlines. The aircraft was retired from service in Aug-16 and parked at Brussels before being moved to Cranfield, UK later that month for long term storage.
It was returned to Falco Regional Aircraft as G-CJKC in Oct-16 and remained stored. The aircraft was disassembled at Cranfield in Jan-17 and moved by road to Kemble, UK. It was broken up at Kemble in Aug-17. Updated 23-Nov-22.
Note: Swissair had a big interest in SABENA. Another one of the many airlines that collapsed in the aftermath of '911', Swissair ceased operations on 02-Oct-01 and restarted limited ops two days later after the Swiss Government provided temporary funding. SABENA no longer had the backing of Swissair and filed for the Belgian equivalent of 'Chapter 11'.
Some of the staff, who were more than a little militant, finished them off by deciding to go on strike. The Belgian Government pulled the plug and they too ceased ops on 07-Nov-01. DAT, who had already operated some regional services for Sabena, took over a limited short haul schedule before becoming SN Brussels Airlines.
