Decided to catch up on my shots.  These were from last weekend

Climbing out of a hazy Tokyo bound for Hong Kong.  

Over flying Taipei, not todays destination unfortunatly.  Maybe tomorrow.

Starting our decent.  Things are expected to be a little rough for our arrival...

...and they werent joking.  Horrible turbulence as we turn for 7R final.

Cleared for landing.

Coming out of reverse.  Overnight here and off to Taipei in the morning.


Waiting on that one last passenger...He had better hury...we are all ready for pushback and dont plan to wait much longer.  Todays weather is much better, expecting clear skys for this flight.

Up and away.  Both old and new HKG are visible.

Off the China coast and turning for Taiwan.

Long final today.  Began decent a little early.  (Few more months and I will be somewhere over by the moutains in Chung-Li City for real Might even be on this exact same flight!)

Very smooth landing for such a nice day.

The beast pulling up to the gate.  Not sure on my next destination.  Considering Bangkok, back to Tokyo, then off to Paris

Very cool.  

What 747 you use,  iFly possibly.....or Posky?

Viewing the firsts pics I was about to give you a hard time because you didn't flew cathay, but then, find it better...

And you better fly CX to go to china, allright??

stop joking, where did you get a 744 with rolls royce engines?

Interesting set.... do they really overfly Taipei on the way from Japan to Hong Kong? Can't visualise where Taiwan is right now...

I flew from hong kong to osaka on january, and actually, we took off from hong kong, did 1 turn left, flew right over taipei, and landed at osaka... quite simple a nav! same the other way, with 140kt headwind...

Sounds like a good journey looking forward to the next legs

Thanks...

Posky is my choice for most aircraft right now.   All the 747s you could want here, and many more on Avisim.  http://www.projectopensky.com/downloads-index.php

As for Taipei...I tend to fly over it if my route allows me too  I think real world routes from Japan to Hong Kong do fly over.  Its pretty much in the path.  Keeps you off the coast for most pf your decent as well, lower noise levels on the ground

Thanks TheBrelon and Triple7, I guess a quick look at the atlas could have told me that... forgot how close Taiwan is to the Chinese mainland...
