Delta Pink Plane

Delta is releasing a 767-400ER (registration N845MH) painted pink and white in order to spread the word about breast cancer research. The plane will be ready on May 25 and will be flying to Australia's Melbourne international airport. It will make its maiden voyage on October 29. Delta has been doing this since 2005 in order to raise Breast Cancer awareness, and has since raised billions of dollars - $1 million in 2009 alone. Delta will also be selling pink lemonade on their flights, flight attendants will don pink accessories and will encourage passengers to support the cause as well.

The photograph above is of the previous years' pink plane. The new 767 will be replacing this 757 so that it can make an appearance internationally. This year's plane looks a bit different, and although it has not yet been painted, it is expected to look like this:

 It looks great! I can't wait to see it, or perhaps to even fly it to Australia. Its design is a bit different than previously but I think it'll look good.

Tail Strike

It has been a few days since I've last posted, but a lot has been going on in the aviation world.

I want to share this picture of a tailstrike that occurred in Sydney. A United Airlines 747 on its way to San Francisco impacted the runway upon takeoff. The plane got to 8000 feet, dumped fuel, and safely returned to the airport.

Pretty astonishing that someone captured this actually happening.
