Tails Tuesday 3 20 January 2026.
D-ALAP (fake registration, actually D-ALEM), Lockheed 1049G Super Constellation, in Lufthansa's 1950's livery, at Munich Strauss, 30th September 1996.
This plane never actually served with Lufthansa, actually flying for Air France.
The original D-ALAP was broken up in 1967.

Bonus Photo of the Day 4 4th January 2026.
HB-IRN (fake registration), Douglas DC-3, in SwissAir colours, on display at the base of the Besucherhügel (Visitors Hill) at Munich Strauss Airport, 30th September 1996.
A Junkers JU-52/3m in pre-World War 2 Luft Hansa livery, and the tail of a Lockheed Constellation in post-WW2 Lufthansa colours can also be seen.
I previously saw this with the fake registration N569R on the terraces at Frankfurt Airport in 1993.
The actual HB-IRN is on display at the Swiss transport Museum in Luzerne where I saw it in 1989.
That plane operated the first commercial flights from Switzerland to my home airport, Manchester, in 1948!
