Lufthansa 747-400 with football nose?

[Guest nik_the_greek]

Hi everybody!Does anyone know where I can find the 747-400 operated by LH with the football nose? I tryed a search in the AVSIM library, but it didn't return any results.I believe the registration is D-ABVM.Thanks in advanceNik

actually there is no soccer nose paint for the PMDG 744 for what I know but there was an AWESOME Lufthansa repaint at avsim which looked (PMDG may forgive me) quite better than the ABVA repaint.Unfortunatly, I cant find it anywhere on avsim anymore;( But here´s a pick I got

yeah i remember seeing a few repaints including this one for the 744. They were simply outstanding. I didn't down load any because I don't have the queen but those repaints almost made me get the plane. Cheers.Jason

Nik-I haven't seen that one- but would also love to see it. :-)I have my entire calendar cleared from 12JUN forward... Can't wait for World Cup to start. :-)On another, humorous note: Back in my management days at UAL we managed the ground services for LH at KIAD. D-ABVD diverted to KRIC for fuel on account of thunderstorms and hit a light post- doing significant damage to one wingtip....She was forever refered to as "The Claptrap" in reference to her reg number..... :-)

I know which repaint you are talking about! It is indeed superb. I exclusively fly with this repaint and an LH Star Alliance 747 I found on the AVSIM library.Well, maybe I can try out my repaint skills, and try to make the soccernose myself. Let's see what will happen.Thanks for the help anywayNik

talking about LH 744Does anybody know how many of them they actually got? I know the have BA through BZ + those T planes but how many are there after all?

>talking about LH 744>Does anybody know how many of them they actually got?I think they've got 30 747-400. They used to have some 200's, but they were taken out of service in 2002 (i believe). LH Cargo also operated some 747-200F, but they now switched to MD11F's.Cheers Nik

Lufthansa has exactly 29 of the Boeing 747-400 :-)
