Boeing E-4 (it seems) spotted over Alexandria, VA on Apr 7, 2026
I saw what I believe was the Boeing E-4 Advanced Airborne Command Post, a Boeing E-4, flying overhead on my walk in Alexandria, VA. At ~12:52pm EDT.

An all white Saab 340 twin turboprop Climbs out with the gear up
An Ameriflight Saab 340 making a stop at Worcester regional airport in central Massachusetts, 04/04/26. KORH is a modern and well appointed airport but only features very limited commercial service, and relies on state subsidies to stay in operation. #saab340 #sf34 #korh #airplanes #aviation #avgeek
A color postcard shows multiple Lufthansa aircraft on the ground at a busy airport, viewed from an elevated angle. In the foreground, a large Boeing 747 dominates the scene, positioned nose-first toward the viewer. Its distinctive upper-deck “hump” is clearly visible above the cockpit, along with a rounded black nose radome. The aircraft is painted in Lufthansa’s classic livery, with a white fuselage, a dark window stripe, and the airline name printed along the side. One of its large engines is visible under the wing, and the nose landing gear is extended on the concrete apron. Behind the 747, a narrower Boeing 727 is taxiing from left to right. Its long, slender fuselage and T-tail are visible, along with three rear-mounted engines—two on either side of the fuselage and one at the base of the tail. The Lufthansa crane logo appears on its dark tail fin. Further in the background, an Airbus A300 is also on the taxiway or runway. It is a wide-body twin-engine aircraft with engines mounted under the wings and a broader fuselage than the 727. It, too, carries the Lufthansa livery and tail logo. The airport environment includes wide concrete taxiways and runways, patches of grass between paved areas, and distant airport infrastructure. A small red ground vehicle is visible near the middle aircraft. The horizon shows a flat landscape with a faint tree line under a hazy sky.
Happy 100th Lufthansa!

A color postcard shows a Lufthansa wide-body jet airliner flying through a clear sky with thin, wispy clouds. The aircraft is viewed from slightly above and to the side, angled upward as if climbing. The airplane has three engines: one mounted under each wing and a third integrated into the base of the vertical tail at the rear of the fuselage. The wings are swept back and extend outward with a slight upward angle. The fuselage is long and cylindrical, painted primarily white with a dark blue stripe running along the row of passenger windows. The tail fin is dark blue and features Lufthansa’s yellow circular logo with a stylized crane in the center. The word “Lufthansa” is printed in dark lettering near the front of the fuselage. The aircraft’s registration marking is visible near the rear section, just ahead of the tail. The underside of the wings and fuselage is shaded, while the upper surfaces are lit by sunlight, creating a contrast that highlights the aircraft’s shape and structure. The engines appear metallic and cylindrical, with the tail-mounted engine blending into the vertical stabilizer. The background consists of a soft blue sky with streaks of high-altitude clouds, giving a sense of cruising altitude. No ground or other aircraft are visible, emphasizing the plane’s isolation in flight and the smooth, steady motion through the air.
Happy 100th Lufthansa!

A color postcard shows a Lufthansa jet airliner flying above a thick, continuous layer of white clouds. The aircraft is viewed from the front and slightly above, giving a clear view of the nose, cockpit windows, and both wings extending outward. The airplane has a twin-engine configuration, with one large jet engine mounted under each wing. The engines appear circular from this angle, with dark openings at the front. The fuselage is painted in Lufthansa’s classic style, with a light-colored body and a darker band running along the row of passenger windows. The airline name is faintly visible along the side of the fuselage. The nose of the aircraft is rounded and prominent in the foreground, with cockpit windows forming a dark, visor-like shape. The wings are swept back, and their tips extend outward into the cloudy background. The tail rises vertically at the rear, though its details are less distinct from this angle. The cloud layer below is dense and textured, resembling a soft, uneven blanket stretching to the horizon. The lighting suggests daylight above the clouds, with soft shadows and highlights across the aircraft’s body. The overall composition emphasizes forward motion and altitude, with the jet appearing to cruise steadily through open sky above the clouds, isolated from any ground features or other aircraft.
Happy 100th Lufthansa!

A vintage color postcard shows a Lufthansa jet airliner parked on an airport apron under a clear blue sky. The aircraft is viewed from the rear-left side, emphasizing its tall vertical tail and distinctive T-shaped tailplane mounted high above the fuselage. Three jet engines are visible—one on each side of the rear fuselage and a third integrated into the base of the vertical tail. The airplane is painted in Lufthansa’s classic livery: a white fuselage with a blue stripe running along the windows and a yellow accent line. The tail features a large yellow circle with the airline’s blue crane logo. A small German flag and aircraft registration markings appear near the tail. A mobile boarding stair is positioned at the front left side of the aircraft, with the word “MÜNCHEN” printed in bold black letters along its side, indicating Munich. The aircraft sits on a wide concrete apron, with its landing gear fully extended. In the mid-ground, a person dressed in white stands on the tarmac facing the aircraft, providing a sense of scale. Behind them is a long, low terminal building with rows of windows and a control tower rising above it, painted in red with a glass observation top. Additional smaller aircraft and airport vehicles are visible near the terminal. The foreground includes a strip of green grass at the edge of the pavement. The overall scene conveys a calm, orderly airport setting, likely from the mid-20th century, with the aircraft ready for boarding or servicing.
Happy 100th Lufthansa!

A color postcard shows a large four-engine jet airliner in flight against a backdrop of thick, white clouds and patches of blue sky. The aircraft is a Lufthansa jet, painted primarily white with a light blue underside and a thin yellow stripe running along the fuselage. The word “Lufthansa” is clearly printed in large, dark blue letters across the upper side of the fuselage. The airplane is viewed from slightly below and to the side, allowing both the top of the fuselage and the underside of the wings to be seen. It has a distinctive narrow-body shape with a pointed nose and swept-back wings. Each wing carries two cylindrical jet engines mounted underneath, for a total of four engines. The tail fin displays Lufthansa’s classic logo—a yellow circle with a stylized blue crane—along with a small German flag and aircraft registration markings. The wings extend outward and slightly upward, with the engines appearing metallic and reflective. Below the aircraft, the cloud layer appears dense and textured, giving a sense of altitude and motion. The overall composition emphasizes the aircraft cruising smoothly above the clouds, with no other planes or objects visible.
Happy 100th Lufthansa!

In the background the sun has just set. Its rays reach over the horizon and touch the clouds. The sky starts at the top in a dark blue and moves to a light blue, purple, oranges and yellows greet the eye at the bottom. Up front is the silhouette of a two engine prop plane. All you see is black and the out line of the airplane.
Sun sets on another weekend.

A black and white photograph of a Douglas DC-3 aircraft. It sports polished aluminum, has two engines — the propellers are towards the bottom of the frame, and the nose of the elegant 1930s design points skyward.
One of the most beautiful aircraft ever built, the Douglas DC-3. Photographed at Santa Monica, where they were also built.

Front and back cover of a 1934 airline timetable from Trans World Airlines (TWA), branded “The Lindbergh Line.” The design uses a bold orange background with a black silhouette of a multi-engine airplane flying past stylized vertical lines. A circular TWA logo appears near the top. The text “Shortest Route Coast to Coast” is prominently displayed, along with a long list of cities served, including New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Albuquerque, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Smaller text sections provide ticketing and reservation information, with an effective date of May 13, 1934.
Interior pages of the same 1934 Trans World Airlines timetable showing detailed flight schedules, fares, and route information for coast-to-coast service between New York and California. Tables list departure and arrival times, stops in cities such as Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Kansas City, Amarillo, and Albuquerque, and pricing for one-way and round-trip fares. Two black-and-white photographs depict early TWA aircraft: one parked on an airport ramp and another being loaded with cargo by ground crew. The layout emphasizes speed, reliability, and nationwide connectivity.
