Hong Kong Terminal Planespotting - 001

Here are some shots while transiting at Hong Kong International Airport. Had lots of hours (and memory space) to spare, here are some of it. Not going to go in sequential, just random shots here and there. This round, will be all Boeing 777s.

Singapore Airlines B777-312ER (9V-SWS)

Engines up and running and on its way to the active runway. The van serves as an interesting size comparison between an aircraft, and a land craft. Managed to get it just as the cloud cover scattered to allow some light through.

Air France B777-223ER (F-GSPM)

This one just parked and is ready for refuelling, reloading and for passenger disembarking.

Cathay Pacific B777-367ER - With some wing flex 

I know, this is not exactly Hong Kong Terminal, but in my defense, we were descending to Hong Kong. Just passing through some space in between two layers of clouds.

Three for now. 

I do welcome comments. :)

2014.02.22 Spotting Session Part 1

Time for some spotting again. Duration was shorter than usual though as had to slot this session in between other excursions. However, the catches were great. Here are some that passed through the lens to the sensor.

AirAsia A320-216 (9M-AJE) with sharklets

Malindo Air ATR72-600 (9M-LMG)

Malaysian Maritime CL-215 (M71-02) waterbomber.

This could be the aircraft used for firefighting the forest fires in the nearby state.

First time seeing Cathay's 777-300ER in Penang (B-HPG)

It's really LONG. I remember walking towards the galley in this aircraft from my seat. Thought it will be a direct path, but along the way, lots of passengers got up in front of me and clogged the passage. Interesting experience nonetheless.

Malaysia Airlines B737-4H6 (9M-MML)

I wonder how much longer will these -400 series remain with MAS.

Another part coming up which will include Silk Air's LATEST B737-800.

Stay Tuned
