Scanned from a negative / arriving in some great evening light! Ex Bashkirian Airlines and this is the aircraft that collided on July 1st 2002 over southern Germany with a DHL 757, en route from BCN to SVO

Collided midair with a DHL Boeing 757 over Germany on July 1, 2002

Seen out of the window of my Emirates A310 is this Bashkirian Airlines Tu154M, which unfortunately was written off on July 1st 2002 when it collided in mid-air with a DHL 757, the crash killing all involved including the air traffic controller working the flights, as he was murdered later on by a relative of one of the victims

Rare specimen

Throughout its existence, Hapag-Lloyd has operated several Boeing 737 models, from the early -200 Classic, to the -400, -500, -800 & now also the -700 with its new TUIfly identity
