RT by @SpaethFlies: Tens of thousands are currently tracking Lufthansa flight LH9851 from Abu Dhabi to Munich. According to a Lufthansa spokesperson:
“Lufthansa's Airbus A380 D-AIMK has completed necessary maintenance in Abu Dhabi. Only two pilots are on board for the technical transfer flight. A cabin crew of at least 17 people, which is essential for the safety and care of passengers, is not available and cannot be flown in due to the current massive restrictions on air traffic in the United Arab Emirates. Without flight attendants, passenger transport is legally and safety-wise impossible. In addition, due to the current dynamic situation, the accessibility of Abu Dhabi Airport for potential passengers is unclear and difficult to organize. Reliable planning of check-in, security checks, and boarding cannot be guaranteed under these circumstances.”

Reconnaissable à son nez pointu et sa silhouette élancée, le Concorde a marqué l’histoire par sa vitesse : il était capable de voler à +2 fois la vitesse du son, permettant de traverser l’Atlantique en à peine 3h.

RT by @SpaethFlies: In April 1985, high above the Irish Sea, photographer Adrian Meredith captured what has since become one of the most legendary images in aviation history. From the back seat of a Royal Air Force Panavia Tornado, Meredith photographed the *Concorde* at an altitude of around 50,000 feet, racing across the sky at Mach 2. The opportunity was fleeting—the Tornado, powerful as it was, could only stay alongside the supersonic airliner for a few minutes before falling behind. Within this narrow window of less than four minutes, Meredith managed to frame and capture an image that revealed Concorde in its full glory.
The photograph itself is striking, not only because it shows the sleek, delta-winged jet in motion, but because it places it in a context rarely seen— the curvature of the Earth visible in the background, a view usually reserved for astronauts. The clarity of the shot conveys both the elegance of Concorde’s design and the immense challenge of supersonic flight. It was not merely a picture of a plane, but of a technological marvel at its absolute peak, suspended in an almost otherworldly setting where art and engineering seemed to merge seamlessly.
Nearly two decades later, when Concorde was retired in 2003, the image took on even greater meaning. It now stands as a symbol of a bygone age, when commercial aviation dared to dream beyond the limits of speed and altitude. Meredith’s photograph preserves that dream, a frozen moment in time when the future seemed to arrive early, soaring faster than the speed of sound above the clouds. It remains both a celebration of human ingenuity and a nostalgic reminder of an era that has yet to return.
