Apparently, an Airline flown by a few of the members here ... though I never have.

Taken on a hazy Bangkok winter's day.

Mate, I did ... but that's on another computer with my email.

HUGE internet issues ... I've had no upload capacity until now.

Hey ... since you are back from your holiday ... how about you post it now ... thumbsup.gif

Very distinctive livery ... nothing fancy here ... it is what it appears to be ... wink.png

.

RabC suggested it was a Airbus A340 Sri lankan

Apologies for the break in transmission ... I've lost my internet and the provider has just supplied a temporary solution.

So RabC ... correct 100% ... well spotted.

It was indeed a Sri Lankan Airbus A330-243 (A332)

Little correction Mr David. Yes the answer was correct a 340.

But.......... (grab me a beer)

David said: It was indeed a Sri Lankan Airbus A330-243 (A332)

330 = 2 donks

340 = 4 donks (or 5 APU's in formation)

Personal opinion & personal preferences 1 hostie said. "On a long multi city trip, 2 big donks or 4 little donks, both still do the job".tongue.png

Saudi Arabian (easy part)

And its a rather rare 747SP by the looks of it. Didn't realise any SP's were still flying.

Any have some humble pie to share? Chao Lao Beach is, of course, correct.

The data supplied for the flight was wrong and the Aircraft said to be 4R-ALG, an A330, but the plane actually flown on that day was an Airbus A340-311, Rego # 4R-ADB

I picked up on the differences initially, but left that information on the other computer, hence the mix-up.

Thanks for picking up the mistake ... wai.gif

It just looks like a bog standard AirAsia Airbus a320-216 ?

.

Judging from the day I was at Chek Lap Kok last month, Mr. Fernandez is bog standard on the Aircraft type but paints the Malaysian ones as flying billboards. Notice the Thai registered one in bog standard Air Asia colours. Don't ask me "why".

Thai AirAsia have the following liveries.

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Old Titles"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Chiang Mai University"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Truely Asean"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 New Titles"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 2012 Year of the Dragon"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Carabao"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Visit Chiang Mai"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Bodyslam"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Skytrax World's Best"

"Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 New Colours"

That is one of the VIP, Saudi Royal Flight b747SP's. They have 3 of them. There are 17 SP's registered around the world out of the 45 produced. Sexy beast in my opinion.

Iran Air still fly them Tehran to KL on the summer sked.

Good grief, man. Is that an acceptable spellingof "truly" in some version of my native tongue? Peepil like this, distorted "kecap" to "ketchup" and look what Herr Heinz did with that! Colonial responsibility never really ends does it.

I have a vague memory of seeing those into LHR in the 1970s.

An oil tanker management friend from 1990s HK mentioned he used to be on one from Sao Paolo to HK via New York but I forget the airlines involved. He mentioned putting down in Okinawa sometimes to pick up fuel.

I can't ask him, as he's joined his ancestors, one of whom is credtted with sinking the Turkish fleet at Navarone. Ironically he spent much of his life in competition with Greek shipowners.

Something a little different.

Where was this photo taken from? And what is the name of the airport terminal which can just be seen in the rear left of the photo?

The Qatari Amari flight is more varied and interesting. I was recently asked by an acquaintence if he was being offered an investment scam as he was ostensibly being invited to buy a slice of NW England football club. (Not Mr Thaksin's former favourite MCity). Other investors were cited to be the Qatari Government. I suggested he track the Amari fleet airbus that frequently lands in Jersey to see if it also lands in NW England.

Sorry, not Clark International Airport...

Speaking of Clark - below is a great old photo circa 1989 of Clark when it was the US Air Force base.

Can anyone name 3 aircraft types in the photo??

F4 Phantoms and a C141 Starlifter. Can't see any other types. Well, maybe in the far right KC130 or C130 cargo, can't see them well enough.
