Hi Happy New Year,
Visited India for family wedding and could not pass up a pit stop for some spotting :smile:

Was not even aware of this one!

Horrible shot thru the glass... but shows the WORLDS LONGEST FLIGHT (19+ hours) to our backyard barely clearing the sailing ships in the harbour (ship warning is noted on the charts!!)

All this spotting is a very tiring business....:wink: 380 gates have other traffic for now!

Night time is the majical times.... WSSS really picks up after 18:00 and stays busy till just past midnight...

Oh man, was that the view from the hotel room? Fantastic shots, great job.

AJ

Raj those are some awesome shots from the other side of the world, thanks!

Awesome is an understatement. The night time shots to me are the best...now i have to spend a day in that hotel! :wink:
Very good job, how long did you have the aperture(AV) on your camera?

Changi Crowne Plaza is located top of new Terminal 3! If ever visit, request room 8 or 9th floor and you'll be in spotting heaven! Heat haze can be a problem sometimes, however 70-200 on crop sensor is perfect for A330 and larger.

Raj, we missed you on Monday for the SIA A380. I know you would have wanted to be here. Glad you are having fun while out there. Terrific set of images...

Manny I would have love to be there (see you guys had good wx too)... except just came back the day before and the last VHHH-KJFK leg on CX846 did me in... had to get some rest. Got right bk to work and still have not opened up my Hong Kong spotting folders :-)

Raj............I don't know where to start, but all you images are awesome and "sweet" like China Airlines. Happy New Year...........what a way to start the year!

Great stuff Raj.

Makes me miss spotting at Changi.

Happy new year Raj !!!

Love the set buddy .. Can't wait to see more !

Amazing set, Raj, thanks for sharing. Traveling around like that makes every single plane a unique one for a spotter.

Thanks guys, it was a 3 days break, rain and humidity as always can be problem in that region but well worth it when its dry and sun is out!

Very nice shots Raj! I love breakast while spotting!

Nick agree, and who needs a pub, if we ever get few NYCiers there, I'll buy first few rounds!. Great place to just soak in the action and enjoy the busiest time of the airfield.

Thanks Raj. Beautiful shots. I envy you having the opportunity.
