I went spotting at HKG yesterday afternoon and saw some nice 25R arrivals. Let me know what you think! (All of these photos are 1280px, if you would like to see full resolution please pm me.)
I really wished I could’ve utilized the observation deck better before it was closed. Now I just have to rely on some road near 07R for 07R ops…sad. What I dislike even more is the lack of decent planespotting spots at VHHH. Take EDDF for example, they have a darn platform for taxiing aircraft, would it pain them to install something similar near HAECO? The platform would be heavily utilized for 07R and 25L ops so usage is not an issue. Here’s the platform at EDDF:
Even a skydeck like at Tokyo Haneda would be appreciated very much, but looking at the renders of the third runway proposal I doubt this would happen. There used to be a thing where you could rent a boat to planespot by 25R, however due to construction of the third runway it’s now off limits, hopefully it may reopen when the third runway is completed or else we will barely have any planespotting locations to use.
