Simon, it was crazy on that departure day.

 

 

But as a consolation, CX gave me this for my returning flight to KUL. :clapping:

Bravo was soaking wet....

 

 

 

 

Storm wasn't over yet. U could see from the screen the fierce grey cloud waiting to swallow Bravo when it lifted from ground. A good 15 mins turbulence during climbing. :o

 

(Adjust setting to 720 or 1080 for better quality)

Outbound HKG. Smooth flight all the way after we got out of the Storm.

Impressively massive! :good:

 

 

 

Switch to 720 or 1080 for better quality.

Great shot, Suzuki-San! U took these from Sha Lo Wan? What was the focal length used?

Thank you,Waiping san :lol:

Yes, I took the from Sha Lo Wan, and I used 80-400mm lens.

400mm lens is enough, but 300mm lens might be not enough at there if you want to get narrow body airplanes like A320s & B737s ^_^

May be this would be the last time I bump into her.

 

 

 

Yeah, ex-SQ 747-412 looked a bit dated. I caught her on 29 August 2014 to PVG. She always parked at Gate 2, it seems!

 

It was good that you managed to catch B-KPB special livery. Awesome!

4 May,2015 at HKG

 

I visited HKG from 2 May to 5 May, but mostly went sightseeing in Macau :sorry:

So I did spotting on 4 May, and it was only 4 hours, between 1pm to 5pm...

However, I could get some new stuff, so I'm so happy~~ :D

This year, the 11th Anniversary of Malaysian Wings was celebrated in Hong Kong. We were greeted with hot and dry weather. Here are a sample of what I managed to catch last weekend.

Went to send off the Cathay Pacific last 747-400 flight yesterday. There was a huge crowd of spotters at the T2 roof top. CX543 inbound from Tokyo Haneda was supposed to land on Runway 25R. They had a runway change just 20 mins prior to the landing, causing the ground spotters to rush towards the roof top.

 

Weather didn't help - but what the heck - this is the last commercial 747-400 flight for CX. The actual last flight of the B747-400 pax is next Saturday 8/10/2016 with flight number CX8747. Staffers of CX and officials will be inside this special flight which will fly above HK city and bound for TPE and return, I heard.

 

Photos from yesterday

CX543 performed by B-HUJ, a RR powered B747-467 arrived in a foggy day. (the other two remaining - B-HUI, a 747-467 and B-HKT, an ex SQ B747-412 were retired a day or two ago).

Taxied to her gate. Heavy down pour followed after this shot.

 

 

Here are photos from June (MWings anniversary) when I spotted with fellow MWinger, Mr. Francis Lee - or Flee as known here in this forum.
