If airplanes could talk...

A silly bit of aviation whimsy occurred to me while riding the Washington Dulles (IAD) mobile lounge
(those large levitating coaches with the fins on top!) from the mid-field terminal to the main terminal
after my Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt last October. Mine was actually a 747-400, but this handsome
LH A-330-300, working LH's Munich service, was also gracing the Dulles taxiways.

As we approached, the little ERJ seemed to be chirping out a question in the direction of the A-330 ;-)

I don't know if the planes' conversation is as funny as the ladies' conversation above!
I do agree with both Viola and Sabine, but rather would not like to know if they are talking about lose screws!
Sabine, you're absolutely right about that huge fishbone terminal!
Great shot, Steve!
Best regards,
Susana

I reckon they are discussing whether they like the cabin crew on this flight or if the pilot on the west coast run is better than the pilot on east coast run... Perhaps they talk about the weather as we always do!! The British do CONSTANTLY!! Because it is so flippin' changeable!!

: )))) i agree with viola! and i sure hope they are not talking about how their last check-up was quite a while ago, even though they feel that that second screw from the left on one of the landing wheels could use a little turning… ; )) yikes!!! but nah, i don't think that's what they're talking about! these two here are discussing the architecture of the landing field, arguing that the terminal looks just a little as as though a giant alien dropped an equally giant fishbone or spine on it from above! ; )) greetings, sabine.
