Mark L,
the only reason i got upgraded was that the economy class was so crowded, that’s the only reason I thought of since on my way to beirut i remember there were 209 passengers on board.

LBARULES,

Sounds like two great flights

yes indeed !! unforgettable.

Sonnenflieger,
that DVD is just great !! by the way there’s a 707 parked next to runway 17 in beirut, and also a 720 near the hangars (the anti-terror unit there uses it sometimes for trainings), both of them in old MEA colors.

dc10fan,
true, MEA leased its 747s because there was no way using them since beirut airport was so often closed during that era.

T5,
nice picture there,
DUS-BEY it was the F-OMEC (delivered on June 2003),
BEY-DUS it was the F-OMEA (delivered on april 2003).

BEY-DUS, september 8th 2004, flight ME 221

the flight back to germany was also great, while I was boarding the airplane at Gate 23 in Beirut, I got upgraded. Well…. I guess I was very lucky in this trip. During this flight, I took also few shots.
