Kris Kim 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks for the great pictures! Chu Nguyen Vu Loc! Just one question, mot cau hoi? Did VN-A374 get a re-paint? I remember it last time in MEL having the dodgy paint job done in Zurich with the smaller titles, if so when are the rest of the A330's & remaining 772's getting their paint jobs done? Thankyou! Cam On! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nguyen Vu Loc 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2011 Pieter, Tamizi & al. Thanks for your appreciation and support. More photos to come as I just took a leisure trip by plane. Cha`o Sorox, The A332 VN-A374 won't get a repaint in the forthcoming months since the aircraft was delivered in Dec 2009. As I mentioned earlier total aircraft repaint for Vietnam Airlines medium & heavy aircraft occurs when proceeding C-Check abroad based on the airframe flying hours. IMO, repaint will be done after 3 years since the last paint. It could be earlier once Vietnam has facilities/equipment to repaint large aircraft. So far the Cambodia Angkor Air A321 and ATR72s are totally painted at Tan Son Nhat hangars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC Sim 2 Report post Posted June 14, 2011 Great images on this thread ... Whatever Vietnam Airlines does regarding painting of its aircraft, please DO NOT send them to the Philippines. The paintwork on the A332 with Skyteam livery was bad right from the very beginning and has since gotten worse. Love the Vietnam Airlines colours but it is very difficult to photograph it nicely unless the lighting conditions are good. In various places where I have seen VN planes arrive, it is near midday when the sun is too high. When the sun is setting and is orange, it too is quite tricky. My first shot of the VN A321 in good light was in April when it was being delivered from Hamburg-Finkenwerder via Toulouse. Keep those great images from Vietnam coming ... love them.

Huynh Tran Bao Duy 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2011 Dear Uncle, I used lens 70-300mm on Nikon D90. With that picture, I used at 300mm x 1.5 crop factor on Nikon D90 so that maybe it can be 450mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nguyen Vu Loc 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2011 Hi all..i would like to ask...where is the best location for aircraft spotting at VVTS? Thanks Hi Syafiq, Your question is quite difficult to give a straight answer. Officially VVTS doesn't have a public viewing hall like KLIA or SIN. You may spot aircraft on final approach or taxiing out for departure at the right smoking area of the Intl. Departure Terminal. We have various places out of the airport perimeter. See the link to our website's spotting info VVTS spotting locations Some are good in the morning, others during the afternoon due to the Sun trajectory (runways' heading 25L and 25R) and business hours of the cafes. If you come and spot during the weekend we'll take you to the proper places. It's preferable to have a zoom lens to 300mm. cheers, Vu Loc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
