Plane Spotting at HKG ... Part 8

It is never a dull day when I do Plane Spotting at Chek Lap Kok. This lovely airport has been my favourite Plane Spotting destination ever since my first visit to Hong Kong in 2010. 
And today was no different. Despite very little time to do a meaningful job, I still fared pretty well today. It was afterall an evening well spent at Chek Lap Kok.


A shot at high speed as we landed - Jet Airways Boeing 777, Finnair Airbus A330 and indistinguishable planes from Air Mauritius and South African Airways - they would be Airbuses for sure but could not make out whether were Airbus A330s or A340s...


The Hong Kong Airlines fleet...



And an exotic find - Citylink of Indonesia behind Hong Kong Express' Airbus A320...


Hong Kong Express' Airbus A320...



The main ramp...


The Queen rests and I was reminded of what Neeti told me before she flew back home - the Boeing 747 looks a lot more graceful than the Airbus A380. Yes, that's true...


Peering over the giant wing of the Airbus A330...


The Hong Kong Airlines fleet at the Mid Field Concourse...


Air Canada's Boeing 777...


A view of the Cathay Pacific maintenance bay...


The grace of the Boeing 747 is indeed unmatched...


Up, Close & Personal, with the Queen...


Cathay Pacific's Boeing 777...




United's Boeing 777 in the Star Alliance livery...


United's Boeing 737 in the distance...


And Mumbai, here I come!
