Hey there, well I'm down to just two cards so here they are. Both are Airline / Aircraft cards and both were sent by Jean Pierre. One arrived from Austria and the other from Switzerland.
Card # 1 - Austrian Airlines A321 registered as OE-LBB. The card shows it on the ramp in Vienna in 1999. The A321 is a short to medium range , narrow-body twin engine jet that carries between 185 and 236 passengers. The first A321 flew in 1994.
OE-LBB first flew in 1995 . Its entire history has been with Austrian Airlines.
Jean Pierre used a stamp issued in January of this year. It celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Austria's Membership in the EU.
Card # 2 - Crossair's BA146 registered as HB-IXY . It's pictured on the ramp in Zurich in 1995. This particular aircraft had its first flight in 1990. In 1991 it saw service with Meridiana Air. Then in 1994 it was acquired by Crossair. From 1996 until 2001 it saw service with Eurowings. As often happens with aircraft, HB-IXY was scrapped in 2011.
Two stamps on this one. On the left, from 2020, a stamp commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Swiss Fire Brigade Association. The right stamp, from 2017, is 1 of 2 issued as Europa Stamps - Palaces and Castles.
There you have it, short and sweet . Thanks again Jean Pierre. Take care - Be safe ! As always, Wash your hands, and Don't touch your face.
