@John1212168 ..thank you...yes UNFORGETTABLE Hellenikon! It goes down in history as one of the great airports like Hong Kong's Kaitak.

This is one of the best LGAT videos I've ever seen.I was lucky enough to live close to this magnificent airport and I have great spotting memories of it.

And one last thing, duration of the video: 7:42! just like the SX-OAB,SX-OAC, SX-OAD and SX-OAE!

By the noize during take off you can realize how old the 747's engines were...!Still they were really beautiful and special!!

@starboard76 I knew that.. pfft... :)) Thats pretty good images you have of hellenikon! Thanks for answering my obviously stupid comment :)

[Scott757300]

Tell me how did you get SX-DFB arriving at JFK, was it at a different time? Thats really the only logical answer in my mind...

[Starboard76]

@Scott757300 ..haha, yes of course. There's no way I could beat that A340 back to New York and got into position to shoot it. - Customs and immigration would have made sure of that.

Beautiful video work!! Ooohhhhh!! We miss Olympic at Heathrow, one of THE iconic airlines!!!

[Starboard76]

@flashbiddy thansk, and very true, a giant is no more. I'm only pissed because Olympic never sent the A340 on any of my visits to Heathrow, it always seem to come after I've gone on to another city. But I'm happy with my Olympic collection and happy to share it!

The good old times when Olympic was the real one, and the good old airport...

[tonyde52]

When aircraft were AIRCRAFT, and the airlines had CLASS & beauty.

Im more of a boeing fan and while the the 747 is my absolute favourite, i have to admit the a340 is a stunning aircraft

[Starboard76]

@Shane028 yeah, it's funny, at 1st I hated the A340 (I viewed as a 707 ripoff - a dedicated boeing fan too)..but it grew on me.. now I hunt down A340s like crazy as they are limited in number!
