Remarks: Close-up of the Star Alliance lettering and logo on Romeo Echo. She was taking me to Singapore as SQ 224 that morning, and to my pleasant surprise, she would also be operating my onward connection to Ahmedabad from Singapore later that day! This was one the first few airplane shots taken with my then brand-new first DSLR. [Canon EOS 400D + EF 70-200mm f/4L]
