CS-TFX, Airbus A340-542, Hi Fly, about to touch down on Runway 05 left at Manchester Airport, 1st October 2015, as seen from the Runway Visitor Park.
This was one of the semi-regular charters on behalf of the football team Manchester City, bringing the team back from a game against German team Borussia Mönchengladbach.
I've always thought this was a weird arrangement, given that the teams owners also own a major airline that operates several services a day into Manchester, and have/had at least 1 plane in full Man City livery.
Then again, there are good technical/legal reasons for not doing so.
I'll spare City fans blushes by not pointing out the problems caused by having that airline sponsoring both their kits and their stadium, and I'm certainly not going to go into detail about how hilarious having that sponsors name all over their chests and stadium is! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😂

Side view of a 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above a black runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing, undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised slightly, suggesting it is about to land.
The plane is mostly white, with thick grey and dark blue stripes coming from below the forward fuselage, sweeping up over the wings, and back down under the rear fuselage, the grey stripe getting narrower as it moves rearward.
A similar stripe runs across the tail.
The engine pods under the wings are dark blue, as are the up-turned wing tips.
The black registration "CS-TFX" is on the upper rear fuselage, under the tail.
Green grass fills the foreground, with a grey taxiway cutting through it from one side of the frame to the other.
Trees line the side of a low hill in the background, with a small radar tower at the top visible over the top of the planes body, under bright but hazy sky.
