Private Boeing 727 Visits Auckland - VP-BAP

What a nice surprise to see this Private Boeing 727-21 turn up in Auckland yesterday. The B727 has always been a favourite of mine and I have enjoyed every minute that I have flown on one over many many miles.

This is the only photo I could get on the day of VP-BAP. Great Paint scheme also.

Palm Springs Air Museum

Palm Springs was one of our stops on our road trip back in July. On the afternoon of our last day in town I made a quick visit out to the Palm Springs Air Museum to see the Military display aircraft out the front of the complex. There is a good collection of fighters on display, all collecting dust in this high desert region. I'll do several posts of the photos I took there, and I'll save my favourite
US Combat Fighter Jet for the last.

The Air Museum is a living history museum dedicated to educating the public about the role Air Power played in preserving American liberties and way of life. The Museum preserves, exhibits, and flies aircraft from World War Two, Korea, and the Vietnam Wars.

So to start with is this FA-18 Hornet.

Singapore Airlines - B777-300ER

It's been a while since I have taken any Singapore Airlines pics, and as the SQ A380 summer session will be starting again soon, thought I'd sneak in these photos of 9V-SWO taxing out as the daily SQ286 from Auckland to Singapore.

Back on Imperial Hill at LAX again for these photos of Dutch Airline, KLM taking off for Amsterdam on a warm LA afternoon.

This B747-400, PH-BFG is the second KLM B744 I have a photo of, and I would sure like to see their new livery next time.
