Taiwan Shots (Part 1)

Postby Triple_7 » Sun Aug 20, 2006 11:35 pm

As everyone knows I spent the last 3 weeks in Taiwan visiting a friend.  I lived with her family which consisted of mom, dad, 2 brothers, grandfather, and her.  One of her uncles also had a metal shop in their garage under the house, so he was there quite often.  Most of the time was spent with her friends going out to various cities.  Usualy would take a bus from Chung Li to Taipei train station and take the MRT (their subway system) to where ever.  

The first 2 parts will be the flights over.  It took 28 hours total to get from FWA-DFW-LAX-TPE.

July 30th at 3 PM and taking a pretty rare shot from seat 16A of American Eagle flight 3794 FWA-DFW,  ERJ-145.  N645AE was sitting at Gate 8 after being delayed for its flight to Chicago, this forced my flight to park next to it and we were boarded using stairs, something that rarely happens at FWA.  It departed a few minutes before we did.

Spent 5 hours in Dallas before my flight boarded for LAX.  It was a night flight and due to my camera I couldnt get any pics.  Wish I could though.  It was flight AA 2483 supposed to depart at 9:26PM.  I was lucky to be on one of the 757s with winglets 8)  But unfortunatly we got to the runway to find out we were delayed an hour.  So there we sat with the engines off.  About 15 minutes later they had us taxi back to a gate, not to get off, but they had forgot to fill the water tanks.  So we at least moved around some ::)  After filling up we made it back out and off to LAX.
