While I was looking at Aircraft of Russian origin I came across this ...

I wonder did it ever see 'service' for it's designed purpose?

That appears to be a rusky Sukhoi Su-27...

Hard to tell the exact model as the nose / cockpit isn't easily identifiable in this meme wink.png

But the colour scheme is definitely rusky airforce...

Correct. Ukrainian Sukhoi Su-27 which crashed performing at an airshow in Ukraine.

Both pilots ejected safely as the plane crashed, but unfortunately there were scores of casualties in the crowd.

Worst airshow disaster to date.

Sadly, this will be the last one from me in this Thread of Plane Spotting - The Quiz as it's the last one I have identifiable data on.

When I go back to Thailand and the opportunity is there I might do a few more that we haven't spotted yet.

Thanks to all who have spotted along the way ... wai.gif

So ... who's going to have a spot at the last one?

What Type is this?

PS, I like the angle this pic was taken, kind of a cool pic non the less.

Airbus A320 - sporting brand new sharklets

Correct, I choose tat pic as it kind of looked a bit like AA-X A330.

Air New Zealand is the actual launch customer for them, but several other companies flew them first. The converted other standard A320 orders into them.

Excellent choice of photo too - those winglets in combination with that tail livery were doing my head in for ages biggrin.png

Took me a while to figure it out.

Just like to say a big thank-you to David for all the entertainment he has supplied over the last few months.

Thanks again

Some of the chopper folks maybe interested in this press release from EuroCopter regarding Thailand..

Helipartner Thailand launches its leasing activity with an order for 10 Eurocopter AS350 B3e helicopters

In other news, I presume they are French in Phuket.

Re the helicopter ... no tail rotor ... blink.png

Since there's no ladies watching this ... as for the female pilot ... thumbsup.gif

Got me stumped regarding the owner, but model being a 737-800

Posted

^^ It's a 737 but I have different/numbers letters after that.

Was taken in Thailand, but not at Swampy.

.

700 series in that case, looks like DMK to me...

Posted (edited)

David, was it being operated by Orient Thai?

How about a 300 with aftermarket sharklets ?

I am not sure about your comment regarding letters, it could be any special model.

I will go with B737-300 or -3XX (XX who knows !)

Few -700's have eyebrows

The window count is wrong.It is a classic.

The exhaust looks "wrong" for a 700 but it is hard to tell.

Well, close enough for me ...

So congratulations to Chao Lao Beach and GrantSmith

It's an Orient Thai Boeing 737-3T0

Planes details are here

So, once again, I like to thank all the guys who spotted.

So, when you look down as you glide into Swampy from over the Gulf

and you see those sparkling lakes* in the setting sun ... SMILE

I'm down there looking up, maybe taking your photo ... biggrin.png

* BTW ... the Farms not in the photo

post-104736-0-55213300-1371768246_thumb.

But both the Farm and Suvarnabhumi are in this shot.

I'll be back under the Swampy's approach route in a few months,

so, if you have any suggestions on how to do Plane Spotting 2

Please feel free to suggest that either here or through a PM.

David, suggestion for next trip, check out the link in post #1 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/641868-the-incredible-zoom/

What camera did you use for these pics last trip?

Thanks for that ... I did read that post when it was first opened and commented at the time.

F600EXR_page.jpg

What did I use ... my borrowed gf's camera ... a Fuji FinePix 600 ... 15x Zoom.

Better then my older party camera with 10x Zoom.

440x330-olympus-sz-14-main.jpg

About a month ago the Olympus SZ-14 with a 24 times zoom came on special and I paid $150 ... very happy with the camera.

Light weight, compact and slips into the trouser pocket easily.

So, while the imagery can be improved with better technology

... any other suggestions for a better Plane Spotting 2 quiz?

David asked: ... "any other suggestions for a better Plane Spotting 2 quiz?"

My first thought: What about what air hostesses on overnights ? giggle.gif

I will duck now coffee1.gif

It has the correct widows & look of a Chinook.  The trees look tropical, really it is a wild card any more than that.

Yup its a CH-47 Chinook.
