TPE Spotting On Jul 22, 2007 with HKG Departure
The morning I took the CX450 744 flight from HKG to TPE, went inside the Terminal 1 & spot those...
It's quite hard to catch all 4 x KA 330 at the same time...  The SQ1 early morning arrival from SFO ready to push back onward to SIN         The great CX fleet  3 x CX 744 in a roll, 1 went to MNL, another 1 went to KIX, mine went to TPE  Last edited by Diecaster; 07-23-2007 at 10:28 PM. |

Re: TPE Spotting On Jul 21, 2007 with HKG Departure
UA 744 arrived from SIN & onward to SFO
   My CX 744 B-HOW with a terrible "Home Depot" taped in the No 2 engine...   The "Miracle" cafe right outside of TPE southern runway      The cafe owner found the wreckage of the Tropical SQ006 744 during the TPE crash on Oct 31, 2000 & he said that it looks like the 1st class section of the carpet...   |

  This CI 744, N168CL, previous registered B-18209 & used to have a "Touch Your Heart" special scheme, but it was only painted didn't actually fly...what a pity, according to airliners.net Airliners.net Photos: China Airlines Boeing 747-409         2 x CI 744 were following & kissing...?

Re: TPE Spotting On Jul 21, 2007 with HKG Departure
I wouldn't say now China is 100% communist but may be at least 50% even though Mao was gone, they still trying to take over Taiwan as their biggest wishes, that's why the U.S. 7th fleet in the Pacific is to help Taiwan to prevent the war happen...
One of the main reason to paint that aircraft in the special scheme was trying to attract more tourists to Taiwan after the S.A.R.S. outbreak disaster in Asia back in 2003. Remembered DW did make that model as a sample... |

My favourites are the CI A333 and BR B773/ER landing shots - showing fully deployed flaps, slats and spoilers! Great to see the wing flex on those departing JL, BR & CI B744s and CI A333! Great pics! Thanks!

Re: TPE Spotting On Jul 21, 2007 with HKG Departure
Ok guys, the "Miracle Cafe" owner's daughter (working as a waitress) has a nice beautiful legs, but the other day I went there she didn't wear any short skirts but only jeans, she can teasing you around all day long, Man, I love Taiwanese girls...
 The departure day of my Taipei trip, friend of mine bring me to the other spot, so called similar to the "In & Out Butger in LAX", you can sit there next to the street to watch those landings, if you carefully look at the photo at the right hand corner, which I zoom in & took another photo, you notice some sort of special services from those chicks, it'a a Taiwan tradition, those shops are selling those like coconut fruits, mainly to the drivers who passing by, I saw that most of the drivers when they drive-in / stop by those shops, after they paid to those chicks, you can actually touch those chicks, body & legs...Man...   |
