A very rare combination of Airship Industries Skyship 500-02 G-BIHN passing over the tail of UTA McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 F-BTDD at Paris CDG (Roissy) 😎
A pleasing telephoto shot at Paris CDG showing a somewhat unusual sight :)

UTA operated a fleet of six DC-10s in the 1970s and 80s, three of which retained their American registrations (N54629, N54639 and N54649) as they were lease-purchased. The others were F-BTDB, F-BTDC & seen here F-BTDD.

F-BTDD c/n 46963 was one of three McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30s bought outright by UTA (Union De Transport Aerien) between 1973 and 1977. The other two were registered F-BTDB & F-BTDC. The aircraft transferred to Air France in 1992 when the airlines merged.

Taken with a Soviet made Zenith TTL camera and 300mm lens.
