D-AIRN - After almost 31 years of service with the crane, this Lufthansa A321-131 was retired. Last Thursday it was sent from Berlin to Teruel. It was probably the last flight of this bird as it will likely be parted out.

The former “J Bird - Golden Eagle” of Japan Airlines – it’s sad to see it being broken up.

Yesterday afternoon at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL), this 32-year-old MD-11F, N273UP, saw the end of its life, being ripped apart.
It had been stored at ATL since the fleet grounding in November 2025. Delta Material Services acquired it this October for spare parts. It was towed away from the UPS ramp and dismantling began. The aircraft is now mostly torn apart.
