JAL B747 and Neuschwanstein Castle

 Blog # 1674 --- Day 1394 ( That's One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety Four Days ) Since the Start of the  Current ( Second ) Russian Invasion of UKRAINE .                                                                     

                                                                            
                                                                   GLORY TO UKRAINE 


It`s definitely time for an update, so here it is. 

My first card arrived from Shibuya, Japan.  AS an airplane card collector there is no better card to collect than one with a B747 landing or taking off.  That`s as good as it gets. This Japan Airlines B747 is quite old, 37.9 years. It was registered as JA8186 and flew for Jal from Feb 1988 until Oct 2008. Then it saw service with Orient Thai Airlines and finally Max Air from 2009 until 2015. It has been stored at Kan , Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Nigeria since Sept 2015.The picture was taken at Haneda in Dec 1995.




Jean Pierre used a White Dove stamp.




This next card is from Germany and is a great view of Neuschwanstein Castle.  The palace is a 19th-century palace on a rugged hill of the foothills of the Alps in the very south of Germany, near the border with Austria. It was constructed between 1869 and 1886. It was added as a UNESCO World Heritage Site this year.


David used 2 definitive stamps on this card. The left stamp is from 2024, a Peacock definitive and the right one is from 2022, a nice aviation themed Biplane definitive. 




There you have it for this time. A short update, but that happens sometimes.
Thanks to Jean Pierre and David for the cards highlighted today.
