Spotting in Hong Kong

Recommended Posts

Sneeze, how many Dragon Air aircraft wearing this livery?

 

Thanks for the pics :drinks:

 

 

Only this, as this was painted for the company 20th anniversary, which was in 2005, not now.

Sneeze, you mean this pic was taken in 2005? This livery has gone?

 

This aircraft model is highly sought by collectors, i'm lucky to have 1 :p

Sorry to have missed you, Sneeze, on 04jul08 :sorry:

 

Weather was excellent and clear that day, but being on the hot side (34 degrees according the captain), I preferred to stay indoors in the aircon and avoid to become another red-crab :p

 

Was able to shoot the Dragon-330 as well, but saw no Kitty-330 :nea:

 

HKG is, indeed, an interesting airport, especially taken into account the many freighters from all-over the world...

 

btw: on 04jul08 one Oasis has been moved from the compass-bay to the maintenance area - two others still there...will it be leased-out or sold ? What happened to the Ocean 747 ?

 

Will upload my HKG-Lumix shots as soon as possible... :pardon:

Oasis' license has already terminated by Civil Aviation Dept. (Hong Kong) last month during my stay in Malaysia.

Sold or lease, I am not sure, but obviously, it is hard to see the sixth HK based commercial Jet Airline.

 

Ocean? Where you see them?

Updating this post from a different spotting location hehehe....

As usual, spotting is a must in the morning ^_^ weather was fine and sun was bright in the morning(for a while and it turned cloudy), temperature all around was only 22C...pretty cool!!! runway 25R for landing! B)

 

Let's start off with dragonair...

The C/S was simple and magnificent,but too bad the hangul title was removed from the livery :(

 

Looks like there's another logo beneath the UNICEF logo; it's 'Korea Sparkling' logo.

 

In the end,this c/s looks superb than the previous ones :good: Looking forward to search the Asiana a/c model in this livery :lol:
