I have not driven either of these, but it is good pic for here I think. Taken at Brisbane airport near Adagold.

The closer aircraft is a Citation II 550

On the road, but......

Spud: It is a C310 by memory. That is what would be in my logbook anyway !!!!

Ricardo: In fact that story is 99% true, some types use compressed air, was it Russian?.

No, I believe it was a BA VC-10, and that the onward-leg was to South Africa, but my memory may be faulty.

African aviation seems always a little more-different, than other parts of the globe, for example stories of elderly aircraft flying the Haj, with no seats fitted but everyone sitting on the deck. Wonder how the 'hosties' checked everyone was using their seat-belt ?

Nearly like when I flew in C130s except we had at least cargo nets to sit on. No 'hosties' on board.

I was a big fan of Kai Tak airport when it was open.

Found some old photos on another site

Some interesting shots, plenty of aircraft to spot. There are more about halfway down page 2 of that site.

Nice video here of Oasis Airlines showing briefing, cockpit, cabin service and a couple of landings. Interesting when they pass a fellow Oasis 747 between London and Hong Kong, and they ask the other crew to flash their lights...

SVB, thanks for that ... some golden oldies in those photos ... particularly liked the Concord shots.

Also the Oasis YouTube great to watch. I know that it's a promo video, but it does show a side of the flight that I never get to observe.

They weren't chemtrails just before the light flash and crossover, were they ...

Astar 350

Aerospatiale or however the frogs spell it.

More commonly known as a 'Squirrel'

The blades go the wrong way.

Not too sure what happened, but when I clicked on this, it played some Marine gun flinging parade thing :S

EDIT: and when I clicked on it after posting it in a quoted reply, the bloody thing worked... I know it's early, and I already have a coffee in hand.. But <deleted>? Lol...

I believe (& maybe wrong) that the Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil / Astar commonany known as a Squirrel all around the world has changed it name again to the Eurocopter AS350.

Don't you love the French .........

Didn't Oasis out of HK fall over a few years ago?

Nope, and its not a THAI Airways old 747 that has not be re-fitted in 20 years also.

I believe that most people here would have travel in one of these commuters. It was built in North America. This pic was taken in Indonesia, but the airframe was not registered there.

Yes they folded up a few years back. I never flew them, just found the video last night and found it interesting

Maybe a Thai detector

I initially though something to do with pressurization, but there are 2 lines out of it.

It was originally built by 'de Havilland Canada' the built by Boeing in 1988 then built by Bombardier. The aircraft type is still in production, but not this series.

[SeaVisionBurma]

A dashboard. Hmmmmmmm, thats given it away l think.

OOH! Bluetooth connector for the pilot's iphone.
