Remarks: Cathay -300 departing HKG on another regional hop. Those puffy cumulous clouds you see in the summer make for a nice & interesting background I think.
Remarks: Cockpit of the former "Asia's World City" special scheme carrier. It's tragic that these beautiful 747's are being retired one by one. [Canon 650D + Canon 18-55mm IS]
Remarks: Cathay's LJF on final approach for 25R. I really like the stretched look of the next generation 747, although I think the 8i looks better than the 8F because of the longer upper deck that makes it look more proportioned.
Remarks: Here is a photo of 18305 when it used to wear the pleasant and peaceful-looking "Butterfly Orchid" special scheme. This aircraft has been back in the standard scheme since beginning of 2011.
Remarks: The MD-90s were retired from the fleet in 2010. B-2256 is now flying with Delta as N920DN. Delta in the past few years have added a number of used MD-90s acquired from numerous airlines such as China Eastern, China Southern, JAL and a few others.
Remarks: One of many AirAsia special livery aircraft departing from Changi's 02L. This one is promoting the ASEAN Basketball League that was launched in 2009.
Remarks: B-HVX left the fleet in June 2009 & met its demise in Victorville where it was scrapped. I’m not a fan of these bare metal schemes but I'll admit it does look decent in this light and with those reflections. The first flight of this aircraft was on 02/22/1990.
