Singapore Changi Airport Spotting

Recommended Posts

Over the weekend on 21st September 2008 at the one and only, fast disappearing viewing mall of Changi T1...

 

P1000591.jpg

Good day Vietnam! Arriving from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.

 

P1000604.jpg

Garuda is best served in small dosages several times a day.

 

P1000602.jpg

Considered a newbie, Thai Air Asia finally started flying their A320s to SIN.

 

P1000609.jpg

It was a happy day for me when they replaced the A300-600 with the A330-300, one of my favourite aircraft type.

 

P1000619.jpg

What a beauty... another A330-300, this time one of CX'x arriving for a quick turn-around back to HKG.

 

P1000613.jpg

Grand-daddy of 3K's A320s, the 1st one.

 

P1000623.jpg

Enjoy this livery while you can. In my opinion, it is one of AI's BEST ever and should never be replaced. But we know that's not the case. So I present to you one of the rarer white-bellied A310s sporting the old c/s.

What a crowd!

 

P1000643.jpg

COMPETITION ALERT!!!

9V-SWL is actually named after me. :)

One question : Why is OQA called Nancy?

Nancy is the pioneering female Australian aviator back in the 30's. You may read more of her story here:

There was a steady stream of biz-jets coming into Changi Airport all of the last few days . . . but I only managed to catch very few of them, including these:

VP-BED

Hopefully, some of the other Singapore-based photographers got the others that came, and these include B-MBD, Kingfisher A319CJ, N898AW and lots more.

Sneeze is right on target. These biz-jets are in Singapore for the inaugural 2008 Singapore Singtel Formula One Grand Prix which takes place tomorrow (Sunday) evening.

 

At the qualification race which ended a few hours ago, Massa will be in pole position tomorrow.

 

And hopefully before that, a lot more biz-jets will arrive. There must be something like two dozen biz-jets hanging around Changi right now.

N413JG_MW.jpg

 

A319CJ VP-BED, registered to SonAir

Bombardier Global Express, VP-BDU

VP-BDU_MW.jpg

 

EVA Air B747-400BCF B-16463

B-16463_MW.jpg

 

Personally I love how the setting evening sun caused the pearl finish to appear so much differently!

Sorry I attached the wrong image of VP-BED (the one that is unprocessed with all the dust spots!!!).

 

Nice pics HoeJyh of the Etihad!! Sunday morning promises the following already:

 

- N450EJ Gulfstream G-IV-X

- N94AE Gulfstream G-IV

- N788LS B737-3L9 Las Vegas Sands Resorts

- ONG2123 Sonnig from Switzerland (don't know yet which regn / aircraft type)

- VP-BED A319CJ of Sonangol International

 

For sure more will materialise in the later part of the day.

China Sonangol International A319CJ, VP-BEY.

Specially for Sneeze =D CX739 was operated by A343 B-HXO this afternoon and the dark clouds provided some very strong contrast.

2 birds performing formation flying. Never knew bird could fly higher than SQ 744 :rofl: Could the little bird be the one that TTT mentioned earlier?

 

Apologies as quality limited by light, wx and cropping.
