Default SFO spotting 8-4-07

what an awesome day spotting today was!
well awesome in terms of seeing two rare special liveries at once at SFO today!

wunala dreaming was in town! sadly it was parked at an area where i couldnt really get a clean shot of her so i have no pictures to post.

but i was able to see asia's world city come in and land! i have never seen CX come in for a landing before let alone b-hoy, late? no idea. watching it taxi to the CX gate was extremely CXciting hehe.





ok not an airplane photo but its also SF spotting =). flexing my photography arm a bit here. enjoy. pretty much no post processing on this shot minus the crop. imagine that hehe. its been absolutely a great day.

I think Cathay bumped SFO up to 2x daily.

That last photo is pretty damn smooth!

great shots!

i exactly know how u felt. I felt the same when i saw my first Lufthansa Soccer Nose here! I only saw pix of it before u know?

as i was shooting, i was literally screaming!... i am glad i was able to turn on continuous mode and guided my camera as it landed...

China Airlines Dreamliner scheme, i didn't have such luck... all pix were super blurry!!! newbie mistake... haha. maybe next time!

Who says SFO doesn't get special liveries? If you're lucky enough, you may also see the CI B744 Dreamliner.

That'll be Virgin America but too bad you'll have to share your Virgin with so many others.
