To me it looks as if Lufthansa were the national airline of Scotland
Why paint one aircraft, when you can paint six? Lufthansa says its special 100th anniversary fleet will expand to 6 aircraft, including an Airbus A380, A350-1000, A350-900, & A320, and a Boeing 747-8. All special liveries are scheduled to be finished by fall 2026.

I’m not sure what relevance owning a house since 2000 is meant to have… but someone who has owned a house in Portland since 2000 has almost certainly done very very well on that investment.
Councilor Sameer Kanal diagnosed the different sides of this issue as “status quo versus change.” He pointed out that half of Portlanders are renters, but they've been underrepresented in local leadership, and cast aside accordingly. Ryan seemed to take that as an affront to homeowners like himself.

British Airways is selling First Class on the LHR-PDX route next summer. They’ve frequently flown planes with First Class cabins to Portland, but I don’t think the First Class class of service has ever been offered before.
