Planespotting on a helicopter

I FINALLY GOT ON A HELICOPTER
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

no you cant cuz its not
Its taken on a hill, and if you live in Hong Kong, or if you follow Cathay Pacific’s instagram page, you will see that there is a flyby organised today named CX8100 in celebration of 100th year anniversary of Kai Tak Airport, where an A35K will conduct a flyby amidst the city skylines of Hong Kong. The plane only conducted one flight pattern which was lowkey kinda disppointing

Quit the yap and see if i cooked or not lmfao



One of my proudest shots :slight_smile:







The plane was so high when it was returning back to the airport lmao


One of my biggest regrets as of right now is nor being able to capture the whole city of Hong Kong when it was just departing and was doing the first lap, because it was flying pretty low, but it was flying back so high when it was doing its lap back to VHHH, resulting in some poopy pants photos, and the quality is like hehhehehhe


Specs: canon 6dm2 70-200


FEEDBACK PLS: lemme know if i cooked or smth or maybe it was mediocre or smth

Dont ghost me yall hehheh


Adios

The only thing “poopy” about these is the weather. Chalk it up as you got experience for the next time you get this opportunity. #4 is the best.

These are great photos! I was a quite disappointed with the flypass though it has to be said. They made such a big deal about it inside the stadium at the 7’s like it was gonna fly right overhead, but in reality it was just a speck out the window above the South Stand.

Such nice pics! Here in New York we have these 5 minute flights that’ll helicopter you from jfk to the city. The route they take is known as the “conduit” route. You hear one every 5 minutes during rush hour lol. The route passes very close to both jfk traffic and lga traffic. One day I need to do one so I can spot all that from the air. All I need is the small sum of.. a couple hundred dollars :frowning:

Better start saving

During the flyby there were actually helicopters as well, except that they are all from the government, probably patrolling
