Dear friends,
During the cold winter months, we were able to capture some close-up airside footage at Frankfurt Airport! No clouds, plenty of sun, clear and cold weather, as well as good traffic, made for a perfect day of planespotting.
Lufthansa 747-8 (Retro Livery) D-ABYT
One of the most iconic planespotting highlights is undoubtedly the stunning Boeing 747-8 D-ABYT in Lufthansa’s 1970s retro livery. Its classic design and elegant appearance make it a true eye-catcher!
Delta A330-300 N815NW
Delta Air Lines operates the Airbus A330-300 registered as N815NW, originally built for Northwest Airlines before the merger. Delta flights from the U.S. usually land on runway 07L, so it was a great opportunity to capture one of their A330s arriving at Frankfurt Airport’s runway 07L.
When planes make their own clouds, it is always stunning to see how this happens, but do you know why it happens? You can fidn the answer right here!
Overwing condensation occurs when air flows rapidly over an aircraft’s wings, causing a pressure drop due to the Bernoulli principle. This drop leads to adiabatic cooling, where the air temperature decreases as pressure lowers. If the temperature falls below the dew point, moisture in the air condenses into tiny water droplets, forming a visible white mist. This effect is common during takeoff, sharp climbs, or high-G maneuvers, especially in humid conditions. The condensation disappears when the pressure normalizes, the air warms, and the moisture evaporates. It is a temporary and harmless phenomenon, similar to wingtip vortices or contrails.
