Tails Tuesday 11th February 2025.

Close-up of the dark blue tail and centre engine of a white, 3 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right. There is a stylised, light blue flying bird with wings stretched out on the tail. A set of mobile airstairs is attached to the closed rear door under the tail, with a pair of dark and light blue stripes with white writing "Flughafen Frankfurt Main" on the side. A door in the loser fuselage is hinged to open upwards, partially obscuring the planes registration marks, so only "EI-" is visible. In the background, Brown and grey buildings stretch across the frame, under grey skies.

EI-CDI or EI-CDK, McDonnell Douglas MD-11, Garuda Indonesia, at Frankfurt Airport, either 1993 or 1996.

Closeup of the white tail and rear fuselage of a twin engined BizJet with the rear of the engines visible mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked facing to the left. There is a US flag at the top of the tail, with large letters "JR" in black underneath, and the number "5094" below that and very slightly further forward. The tailcone has text "C-20G" in very small letters, with the number "165094" in slightly larger letters below that. A black stripe runs along the body, wrapping around under the tailcone. The planes wing stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a white, twin engined jet airliner visible over the top, with trees filling the skyline , under blue-grey skies.
