Official Plane Spotting Thread II

[Wai]

Feel like going to Changi Beach this Sat to catch the above rehearsal. Actually I'm only looking forward to the MIG-29s.

Any news if any 'special guests' will make a fly-by appearance? Past airshows had the B-52 and even a B-2 I think.

at carpark 07? 70-200 + 1.4x can reach?

wow, your shoots are good, where did you shoot them from? Tried for 2 days, 70-200 + 1.4x + 2x still too far >_<

Shot it on show grounds with a 150-500,

just a hint, all display aircraft depart ftom 20L and land at 02R. Work your position and you will have good close up shots.

 

[slmka]

wow...you are really up close =)

I was at the beach near Carpark 7, can't get too close also as the jetty blocked the view >_<

Nice.
You mean they are retiring so soon after they are spotted with the new Star Alliance livery?

 

[seii7]

not really, quite some time on SPP already, check out SWI with star alliance livery but no more bird logo tail.

I think the 1 on SWI is the lastest from Star Alliance....maybe other Star Alliance airlines will follow the same instead of the conventional dark blue tail......

Hope i got the chance to spot that SWI...

A 5 years old airliner in SIA is equivalent to 80 human years. ;p

IIRC, most of the aircraft in their fleet are actually leased.
