Now that we know everyone got off the plane, I wonder how many tried to grab their carry-on first before evacuating. On the video of the evacuation I couldn't see a single person with a carry-on. These are Japanese people. They are disciplined, and actually listen to the crew. I saw at least one, p...
Jump to postIn this context, I also wonder what kind of crew they are: Romanians? Indians? A colourful mix? Pilots who are able to fly an A 340 should be able to find a job with a reputable airline.
Does the crew also have to remain in XCR - even though their working time has expired?
Great video! Thx for sharing! These are worlds I will never get to, if only for financial reasons! But I don't begrudge it to those who can afford it

With 2 active A350s (plus one outfitting) and two A340s (which both are still about 10 years or so younger than Air Force One) the German Air Force probably has, at least currently, the highest number of widebody VIP-jets worldwide, with the exception of the Saudi King.

Does anyone know what happened to the HiFly A 340-300 with registration 9H-JAI? It has been reported by FR24 as parked in Beja since June 2022. Is that correct?

What‘s that for a flight? LH A 340-600 D-AIHW just landed at USH after a stopover in EZE, flight LH 342.
Touristic flight I guess for „feeding“ cruise ship?
But great to see this beauty back in the Air!!
It would be interesting to see the interior design. Also striped seats and striped crew uniforms? That would be the perfect branding.
And a lot of passengers will get off at their destination feeling dazed from counting all the stripes!

Thank you for your feedback.
