Hi again!
Since I have only been spotting 4 times this month and the pressure by my approaching exams is not yet high enough it seems, I decided to do something stupid again. Lying in bed this morning and looking out of the window to see dark clouds I was set up for a day of studying. But then Flightradar sent an alert - Air Malta‘s retro jet was inbound to Munich. Knowing it might not be around for much longer I was already a bit stressed to get it. But in this weather? It took me quite some time and several checks of my weather app before I got to a decision. Actually, I have no clue why I eventually went to the airport since the app even forecasted rain for the time of the plane‘s takeoff (I was way too late for the landing already). So, long story short, I hopped into the car for a 45 minute drive to the airport. Approaching the airport I actually got a smile on my face since the clouds (partly) went out of the way around the airport. This made the trip rather nerve wrecking but also the results turned out quite amazing.
When I arrived at the airport eventually, I decided to go back to a more risky spot instead of the boring yet safe spotter hill. Luckily, I arrived right in time for the takeoff of Singapore Airlines‘ A350.
An equal motive, yet slightly different but with an equally spectacular backdrop, thanks to another A350, now from Lufthansa bound for India.
And since all good things come in threes, let’s start with the first „retro“ livery. Some people who think I know every tiny detail about Munich‘s traffic might be shocked but I was positively surprised that this flight was operating to Shanghai today since it’s not a daily service. (And who knows if this flight will continue to operate normally due to the current situation in China)
Oh yeah, of course we also have the mandatory „Munich-based Lufthansa narrow body“ in this topic 
Now, let’s get to the reason I went for a 1:30h total car ride: a probably soon to be gone retro jet leaving for Luqa, Malta in front of the dark clouds further north.
To not cut off the Maltese Cross on the tail, here’s another, slightly different angle
For once, I really only did a short trip. After the following Laudamotion jet had left for Mallorca, I also left the airport since traffic at the southern runway died down and I expected the clouds to cover the sun again by the time the next interesting planes would arrive. I guess at some point I should study nevertheless haha
