  1. Thank you. :)

     

    Well Gav, that's the best I can do else photo would be too big for the forum format. I was indeed very lucky to get so many specials in such good summer weather. Typical humid hazy summer in Tokyo was all blown away by Typhoon Man-yi on the day of my arrival. And i was blessed with clear blue sunny days during almost my entire trip. :)

    Let's continue ... 18 September 2013.

  2. During recent MW anniversary dinner in SIN. Someone approach me & 'complain' that I haven't been post much photos for the past year. :sorry: Please pardon the hiatus. Honestly I haven't been doing much spotting locally for obvious reason.

     

    In the mean time, please enjoy some random photos I took in NRT & HND during my recent trip. Weather wasn't fantastic in HND but the actions was good.

  3. Thanks Francis !! :)

    Second installment of VTBS spotting. One will notice thru this set of photos that :-
    1. Russian love Thailand especially during the winter months. Obviously!!
    2. Metallic purple on the older TG aircraft looks much better than the new 'cheap-looking' matte purple.

    3. One out of the three Transaero B744 is equipped with RR RB-211 instead PW 4000 series engines. ;)

  10. OT: Since no one has pointed out the possibility of this spotter being framed and sabotaged, I will play devil's advocate here. The reason being, I clearly remembered one group on FB was specially created to target the spotter mentioned here. I was invited to join, left a message condemning such hate group and left the group. No time for such child play ... really. Well ... I think someone is out there to get him. =@

     

    Admin: Pls feel free to delete my post if you deem this unsuitable. After all, this thread was created to share plane photos from SIN.


  11. 17/06 Good weather with some light breeze at the beach. Spotting time... :yahoo:

     

    Qatari638 was opb B77L (A7-BBD) instead of the usual B77W.

    A7-BBD_WSSS_170611.jpg

     

    BG84 S2-AFL was delayed again to 1540. Biman may as well make this its STA. :pardon: This is one of two B737NG opb Biman.

    S2-AFL_WSSS_170611.jpg

     

    I was hoping that it's still wearing the old scheme ... alas new scheme which is plain boring. OH-LQD

    As mentioned by TY, 9V-SPN was out for an air test wearing Transaero colour. Landed at the wrong runway!! :angry:

    Thanks for viewing. Cheers. :)


  12. 10/06/11

    Weather was a mixed bag. At one time, some passing rain cloud threatened to ruin the whole afternoon for spotting.

     

    Nice to see two Shanghai Airline Cargo MD-11F arrived in the afternoon. This is B-2179, the other was B-2178.

    Thanks for viewing. Cheers :)


  13. Gentlemen,

     

    Are there any easily accessed spotting spot in KIX and HND? If any, will a 70-200 be enough?

     

    From my experience spotting in HND, (as mentioned by TK) morning at JAL terminal - T1, mid afternoon can go catch some international arrival n departure at international terminal, then move to ANA terminal - T2 in the afternoon. All observation deck very spotter-friendly. One can do some really good nite spotting in T2 South observation deck as it's horizontal wires that separating u from the aircrafts. All terminals are connected by free shuttle bus at the arrival level. Enjoy!
