D-ABTA was the first LH 744 scheduled to be sent to the desert. That's why the livery has been neutralized. Anyway, plans have changed now since LH's A380's are late. From march 2010 D-ABTA will fly again in LH colours. (mehr von D-ABTA)
D-ABDM An overview of the accident in Tegel today, you can see the tug trapped underneath the aircraft. The A/C was being towed to its position, when the tug stopped. The A/C carried on under its own momentum, causing the tug to be pulled under the belly. Amazingly, the driver got out uninjured apart from cuts to the hand (mehr von D-ABDM)

F-WWKH In Memory of the 7 people that died on June 30th 1994. Unfortunately we seemed to have been the only ones to show their respect on the 10th anniversary. On the lower left you can see the trim wheel, pretty much the only part that remained unburnt....R.I.P. (mehr von F-WWKH)
D-FGOJ c/n 139. ex ZK-JDQ. Straight from a Hollywood movie. A ex-military hijacked the aircraft, after pretending to be a photographer shooting parachute jumps from inside the airplane. The aircraft took off from LPEV (Évora) to LPCS (Tires) with 2 parachuters, and right after, the hijacker diverted the aircraft using a pistol. When the aircraft was landing at Tires, the pilot managed to take the weapon from the terrorist, but he went for the controls and tried to crash the airplane. The parachuters jumped at very low altitude and the aircraft landed with the engine shut down, with a strugle between the pilot and the hijacker, skidded into a ditch breaking the left wing and left again to the grass breaking the landing gear. The pilot jumped from the aircraft as soon as it hit the ground and the hijacker committed suicide (you can see him underneath the left wing). It also seems that the hijacker's car exploded in Évora. Handheld, raining a lot, and almost dark. (mehr von D-FGOJ)
