Hi there, I had less free time last weeks, but when I had I was finishing my trip from the Lufthansa time table of 1958. First there was a positioning flight from La Paz (SLLP) to Rio de Janeiro (SBGL) on Tuesday, June 10, 1958, then it was following the time table: Date: June 11, 1958 Flight: Lufthansa LH-505 Schedule: Lufthansa Summer 1958 Frequency: Wednesday only Departure: Rio de Janero (SBGL) at 1457 local (1657 GMT Wednesday) Arrival: Frankfurt (EDDF) at 1907 local (1807 GMT Thursday) Stops: Dakar (GOOY), Lisbon (LPPT) Overall Range: 7105 nm I was made a lot of screenshots of these flights, here is a small collection: Ready for take off in La Paz (SLLP)Approach to Rio de Janeiro (SBGL) with the Copacabana in sightClimbing over the bay of Rio next day with better weather for sight seeing.Leaving Rio de JaneiroFlying in to the night on the way to Dakar (GOOY)Turning in a thunderstorm on the way from Dakar (GOOY) to Lisbon (LPPT) with one of a lot of Cumulo-Nimbus clouds in the far. Searching my way through these towers of clouds. Watch the lightning in the lower right corner.Thrilling - all these clouds everywhere......take a look out to the left...thunderstorm clouds......and out to the right side...also thunderstorm clouds. During approach to Lisbon (LPPT)From Lisbon (LPPT) to Frankfurt (EDDF): Turning to new course over Pamplona (Spain).In the final approach to Frankfurt/Main (EDDF)Back homeHope you enjoyed it. For me the Connie is giving a lot of fun like you can guess watching these pictures. Greetings Haddock

Sure looks like you're getting the best out of the Connie Haddock. LH-505 these days still connects Brazil to Germany...but it now leaves Sao Paulo and goes to Munich....and of course while still powered by 4 engines the A340 just doesn't have the Connie's special ingredients.

Nice trip and great screen shots. Keep it up Haddock, your Conny is accumulating a lot of flight time.
