Remarks: In 1998 Continental operated a special colored DC-10. The leftside was normal Continental-livery, but the other side was in full VASP-colors. A very nice surprise! New to the database, and scanned from paper-print.
Remarks: Finally reached my 100th shot here.A big thanks to M Azizul Islam,my mentor in spotting and without his help couldn’t have come this far,Shabbir Bashar,who taught me photography and a great spotter himself,Paul Furmanski for all those mails on editing,Shudipto Ahmed,for lending me his gear and being there with me,Tanveer Yasser,for showing his love for aviation and also helping me to increase the number of spotters,Mahruf and Tahlil for promoting ‘plane spotting’.I was lucky to have my dear Tasnim Ahsan with me when I took this shot,we were actually on a date,sorry hunny if I ruined that day,this shot is dedicated to you!Sorry for the quality but I guess my love for DC-10s does show in the framing of the shot and also a big thanks to the jp crew for letting me upload at a larger size[1600px]

Remarks: BG079 departing back to Dhaka after about a 16 hour delay. Unfortunately for passengers delays & cancellations are commonplace at BG due to a constant shortage of aircraft thanks to their never-ending financial problems.
We’re very lucky in Hong Kong to still get Biman’s DC-10s. They’re down to 2 DC-10s now, S2-ACR & S2-ACO.
