I am currently having a winter holiday so I’ve got plenty of time for spotting in VHHH.
Location:
22/12 morning: aircraft maintenance area
evening: skydeck at terminal 2
24/12 terminal 1 bus stop
26/12 skydeck at terminal 2
First day morning:
The KLM Boeing 747-400(M) from Amsterdam
The last(?) Qantas Airbus A330 service on the route QF29 from Melbourne to Hong Kong
A Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 767 which was bought by United is waiting to be painted outside the HAECO ( Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited)
First day evening:
Air New Zealand upgraded her service from Boeing 777 to Boeing 787. I really want to to the all black 787 in Hong Kong.
Second day:
Tukish Cargo is reinforcing her service in Hong Kong. I gonna try to catch their A330-200F. This is their Boeing 777F to Bishkek.
The star of that day: N78017 in the Star Alliance livery bound for New York Newark
Third Day:
The QF29 after being upgraded to a Boeing 787-9. She was one of the aircraft that made spotters rush to the front row in order to take a picture.
AC7 from Vancouver was also upgraded to a boeing 787-9. It’s also my first time to see an AC 787-9.
She was the one who brought the spotters stayed under the sun for a few hours, the D-AIMD from munich in the new livery. It’s also her first time to land on 25R after her painting. Before being repainted, she also operated this route quite frequently. Her livery is quite nice after the repaint.
I will probably go to spotting on the next sunday. Stay tuned for the next thread! (Hint: the target will be cargo aircraft)
