Just going through the files of pics I took this summer and found a few from various Frankfurt airports that might interest you lot.
First up, Lufthansa 747 on the civil side at Frankfurt Main with a C-130, Evergreen 747 & the tower in the background over on the military airfield. It was getting late hence the darkness.

The ramps move themselves according to airspeed and Angle of Attack – they’re constantly adjusting and moving in flight to maximise the airflow to the engines.
The F-15 doesn’t have any slats, the only lift inducing feature for slow speed flight are the flaps, which have two positioned; up or down.

hey, Hey HEY !! Wrong Forum! :p 😀
Even good photos of 141s and the jets look so tired. 😀
BTW you can post that F-15 in the Slats / Leading edge Flaps thread. All though it aint one of those, The moveable intake ramps on the jet, do put airflow over the top of the wing as shown in that photo. Doing some of the work of a leading edge device. As the leading edge of the wing is non-moveable. In can be moved down even further than shown in that photo.
