My parents were flying on EVA Air to Toronto via Taipei. I took the opportunity to plane spot. Is this something new?
Place of spotting: Terminal I of Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.
Date: 30 August 2010
Time: 0800 to 1400
The Brazilian-made Embraer E-Jet 190 of Mandarin Airlines fresh from Kaoshiung. This, I have to say, is one of the highlights of the day. It's my first time to see this aircraft type and at close range. I spotted the smaller version E-Jet170 at Hong Kong Airport back in 2005 and 2007 (then operated by Hong Kong Express Hong Kong airport back in 2006 and 2007 before these aircraft were flown to Nairobi to be operated by Kenya Airways). Anyway, I was inside the plane so I was only able to admire the beauty of these jets only though the aircraft window. So now, what I want is to fly on it.
Cathay Pacific Airways Boeing 747-400 just landed from Hong Kong.
We moved to the other end of the Temrinal I to check out what were the things in store for us to spot. And we were surprised by the Airbus 340 of China Airlines getting ready for its flight to Taipei.
Three Chinese beauties

Very cool site! I love the concept.
You should keep doing more of this type of blogging.
Have you ever been to Mombasa? They have a wonderful airport there. It's close to the coast and has a lovely breeze in the air. I love that area of Kenya!
Thanks again!
