Maybe Moose and others can offer more guidance, but I understand this woman just comes for Lufthansa arrivals, singing for it, and then leaves.

Anyone have more info or specific stories? Anyone try to talk to her ever? I guess we don't know the reasoning for it?
Strange, I wonder what attracts her just to LH- the condor emblem maybe?
In other news, why isn't there a little hill like that @ JFK or Philly for that matter
We have no idea. All I can tell you is that she's required to call Airport Ops each day and she's there like clockwork. Nobody knows though...
Why is she required to call airport ops?
Some other videos of her. Very interesting.

I've seen people like her at Grateful Dead concerts. Behavior makes way more sense @ Deadshows though
Does she track the flight from home before she comes? What if the weather is bad? What if it's late? What if it diverts after she's left the house? Does she care about aircraft swaps?
You all clearly don't live in the pacific northwest.
There used to be a guy at HoBe that would also do some kind of ritual when planes departed... anyone remember him??
nope, but there are always a lot of rituals going on at HoBeQuote:

The LuftyLady. The story goes she experienced her first and only orgasm whilst in missionary and at that precise moment of pleasure, a Lufthansa 737 flew overhead. Since then, its the closest she can come to the experience.
I recall us more than once performing rituals hoping for a departure while clouds are clear of the sun... that's for damn sure!Quote:

I read that someone tried to talk to her, and she just stared at him. So, you might not get too much info. But someone mentioned that a man, possibly her husband, drives her there and he just stays in the car. Maybe he will talk :)Quote:

She comes out with her husband, does her thing, and leaves when the plane departs. I've heard that a few people have approached her but she was not receptive to interactions with others.
I heard from someone she only comes out for their A340 - they recently switched to an A330 for the winter season, and I'll probably get out this weekend, so I'll let you know if she is out for it. Let me know if you do decide to visit.
Thanks, Moose let me know. If you do see her I'll probably come down during the week.
Was out at CLT today. Lufty brought the A330, and she was out, so I guess it doesn't matter what equipment they use, she's there.
I was back out at CLT this afternoon for the Lufty arrival. After it came in (on the left side) I got to talking to a couple of other folks. Both had heard, at different times, from someone in airport ops who patrols the area, that she lost a loved one, perhaps her son, in the crash of a Lufthansa aircraft. I don't know how accurate that is, as Google doesn't reveal that many LH crashes, and none in over 20 years.
maybe contact LH via twitter and get their opinion of this
People would call the police about her, so this way they are already aware.Quote:
