The 747SP + Night Time Specials

1 of 2 left in the world. The 747SP.

For some odd reason, Pratt and Whitney's 747SP decided to go through Vancouver on its way to Incheon for maintainence, rather than through Anchorage like it usually does. I'm not complaining though 😋

At almost 46 years old, she is one old plane lol

C-FPAW. B747SP-J6

Cathay’s new “Spirit of HK” livery touching down at 22 32 local time as CX888 from Hong Kong, one hour behind schedule. YVR goes into single runway ops after 2200HRS, giving me the opportunity to get this touchdown shot from the south runway.

Here’s “Yam Dreaming” roaring down 26L/08R as QF74 on the trip back to Sydney

Oneworld livery arriving as CX888 on a different day.

Not a special, but these guys are hard to spot here because one arrives at like 6 AM and the other at around 9:30 PM

Again, not a special, but the toothpaste looks nice at night

My gear if anyone is wondering (for these photos)
  • Nikon Z7ii
  • 70-200 f/2.8

Thanks!
