This photo hit my inbox this morning and it was just too good not to share. This photo, believed to have been taken around November 28, shows the 747-400 LCF Dreamlifter (N780BA) sitting between Lufthansa’s first A380 (D-AIMA) and Qantas’s second A380 (VH-OQB) inside Lufthansa Technik’s Hamburg Frankfurt, Germany hangar.
To my knowledge, the last time these aircraft were photographed together was in June 2008, when a Singapore Airlines A380 diverted to Nagoya just as the Dreamlifter was departing for the United States.
The perspective of the photo makes the A380 look significantly larger than the LCF, which is actually longer than the Airbus superjumbo. If nothing else, the scale of the Lufthansa Technik hangar is really what’s on display here.
