After ariving in Monteal from Cancun I decided to take a Lear to Vancouver and catch the 9 AM flight to Hong Kong.

A slow and heavy climb out of Vancouver.

Turning for Hong Kong.

11.5 hours into the flight and we begin out deccent.

Making a slow turn for final.

Runnway just ahead.  A light crosswind picks up as we drop through 1500 feet.

At the gate.  A company A330-300 prepares to taxi out for departure to Singapore.

As for my next stop, Kuala Lumpur.

good job!  I like the approach shot (2nd to last) the best.

HKG is one of the few places in FS where there are default gates! ::)

I''ve never been the biggest fan of the A343- I think the engines look like oversized hairdryers. ;D
I do however, like that livery a lot!

Keep them coming.

Thanks  :)

I to agree that the engines look like hairdryers.  Who knows maby they are ???  Of coarse finding four 5500+ mile extention cords might be a problem. ::) ;D
