RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted February 12 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12 Guam is a major tourist destination for Japanese and Korean people, it's not to far and offers a break in tropical paradise land. I've never been but I know Japanese people who love the place and go there quite regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted February 14 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14 This is an unusual one at Seoul Incheon, a US Army RC12. Not sure whether there's a military compound at Incheon or if it was just visiting. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted February 18 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18 Some pictures at Ho Chi Minh on Friday night transferring for my flight to London. Vietnam Airlines have one of my favourite liveries, I think it's a lovely livery and they're actually a pretty good airline. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted February 19 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19 A few pics from Heathrow on Sunday. The weather forecast wasn't great but I decided to take a chance and there was a lovely sweet spot for taking photographs. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted March 2 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2 Some recent pictures at Ho Chi Minh City Tân Sơn Nhất Airport (SGN). The airport is quite good for pictures as it is a single runway which is visible from the terminal and it is a busy airport which sees a lot of interesting movements. Sadly, you have to shoot through glass but that's normal these days at airports, few seem to have viewing decks anymore (and if they do they sometimes have mesh up so they're worse than staying inside if you want to take pics. Side elevations of some wide twins, including the three versions of the 787, -8, -9 and -10. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Only 55 years ago today... Quote Concorde makes its maiden flight, 1969 There's a nice little video on the BBC archive page. https://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/concorde-makes-maiden-flight-1969/zvgvy9q Maybe it was the nostalgia, but I found it quite emotional, in a happy way. . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted March 3 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 3 I remember when the Embraer E-Jet was the future but it seemed to go off the boil for them.

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted March 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4 04:45 Woke up with start! Off to Nantes today (again)... Pack, (because I didn't last night), then the bins out followed by the school run - that's after I defrosted the car! 08:15 Taxi to the airport - a clear run on the M60, most unusual but very pleasing. (The driver was from Bangladesh, so we chatted about the food, weather and how things have changed there in the last 25 years.) 09:30 Into the "Escape lounge" for a plate of their excellent sausage and bacon - plus another coffee. 09:45 "Go to gate" for the 10:40 KL1074 MAN-AMS On the way I take this general view... The Tui jets just leaving but the Jet2 aircraft has been there all night, and so has been recently de-iced - just like my car! 13:10 (local) Land at AMS a few minutes late. There were some interesting planes passing, while we taxied to D12, but I was seated on the wrong side of the aircraft... 14:15 (local) My KL1459 15:10 AMS-NTE flight is delayed until 15:45. No worries, more time in the Crowne Lounge... 15:55 Take off and I fall asleep - as usual... 17 something or other (slept too long) starting descent. 17:20ish Descending through the (low) cloud. A bit rough with "turbulence" and lot of up/down//accel/decel movements - I wake up proper. Then another GA - that's #6 in 3 three years with none in the previous 30! 17:35 Land. Still a bit rough but this time the captain was happy as he could "see the runway". During Taxi-ing, I always keep an eye out for the old Lockheed Martin "constellation" permanently parked not far from the main terminal. (Pictures posted previously.) 17:40 This time, though, something more interesting was on the apron - an Airbus Beluga. (I call them Guppys for some reason!) With my Embraer 195 E2 in the foreground (no wonder we got thrown around - an A380 it ain't). You can see the weather is terrible - but clearing quickly. Here's a better view of #5... Not pretty, but it certainly makes a change from your usual airport aircraft. 18:15 Best of all - both items of luggage arrive on the carrousel!
