-8F vs -8i ... which is your favorite? #AvGeek

4K-BCR inbound for 26L this morning. The 17-year-old 747-400 previously served with Malaysia Airlines prior to her delivery to Silk Way West in 2018. #AvGeek #NationalAviationDay #WorldPhotographyDay

Yankee Tango shoots the final at KIAH on a hot summer afternoon. #AvGeek

You never forget your first! B-LJB was our first 747-8 when airside operations commenced at IAH 10 years ago. She's still going strong with CX! #AvGeek

Throwback to 2016/2018 when B-LJA was the best-looking 747-8 in service! Miss this livery and hope it eventually returns. #AvGeek

Got to see another Silk Way West 747 up close this evening! Pushback video premiering tomorrow morning at this link - youtu.be/mZiaduV-M9o #AvGeek

Reminiscing a bit on 2019 and how special a year that was. So many unique occurrences at IAH! #AvGeek

Back from the dead ... Having thrown her right main body gear at LUX two months ago, LX-OCV has been repaired and returned to service! If you look closely, you can see that the new strut is quite shiny! #AvGeek

N768CK firing up her quadruple powerplants for the flight to Brussels tonight. #AvGeek

On the heels of K4 was the Star Alliance 772, N76021, with United. #AvGeek

N768CK on short final for 27 today. Really like the simple livery for Kalitta! #AvGeek

Old vs New ... 1. 20 August 2016 - B-LJN's first visit (age 15 days) as the first 747-8 in CX's new livery. 2. 13 July 2023 - B-LJN's most recent visit (age 7 years) as the first 747-8 with CX's new branding. Full circle! #AvGeek

Old image, new edit. B-LJN on final for 26L on a humid summer morning in 2016. The aircraft was 15 days old at the time and her paint was shimmering new! #AvGeek

744 vs 748 ... which do you prefer and why?? #AvGeek

One more flyby shot ... F-HTYT, an Air France A350-900, overflies B-LJN during her approach to 26L today. B-LJN was firing up and preparing for her flight to HKG via ANC. #AvGeek

One frame, three Queens of the Skies. Each one is a different variant, too! Hot day on the deck, but worth it. #AvGeek

The 254th and final Airbus A380, A6-EVS, on final approach into Houston this afternoon. She was delivered to @emirates in December 2021, concluding an 18-year production run for the world's largest airliner. #AvGeek

LX-VCD arrives under broken clouds today. We were aboard this exact 747-8 for a loading operation five years ago! She's pushing 12 years of age, but still as pretty as ever! #AvGeek @Cargolux_Intl

Finally caught up with the #AllBlacks 777-300ER for the first time since 2019! Glad to have her back in town 😎 #AvGeek

N641UA on short final for 8L at KIAH yesterday. This landing preceded her attempted flight to Rio (#UA129) last night, which was cut short by a failure of engine #1 and subsequent safe return to the airport. #AvGeek
