Great pic Steve, but very sad at the same time. (The OCD in me would like some of them turned around…)
That China Airlines (Taiwan) plane went off when I was flying to Khaosiung every second week - they left it there for quite some time; it wasn’t comforting looking out the window on takeoff or landing seeing that!
We're sponsoring a HK Radiologist who is moving here permanently with his family, he's not happy living there anymore
The HKJC had all of their staff on a rotational basis coming into the GC pre handover in 99 to get visas They were worried back then about the CCP takeover
Yeah Greg , if you speak to most locals they have a 2 year plan to move their families out…Laws and schooling are changing very fast aligning everything with the neighbour…Good on you for sponsoring them Greg…They are hardworking and focused…
I was there at the time too. Do you recall the tail of the plane was in the flightpath? It closed the airport, so what they did is blew the tail off with dynamite to re-open the runway. Fabulous stuff. If that was here, it would have taken 18 months to re-open to make sure everyone had their union ticket and the department had rubber stamped everyone's gender specific requirements.
Yeah, I’m getting mixed messages from my folk there... at the pointy end of a project over there at present, but I don’t think I’ll be going over.
I don’t recall blowing the tail off; I thought they just dragged it out of the way! Was definitely a sobering sight.

Smart niche operation I reckon, there a many animal lovers out there who are happy to pay for that service I would think.
Mate I’d fly those any day all day over some of the ignorant , Arrogant Fwits I have to deal with on Pax flights….
My record JM is a Frankfurt flight…We launched at midnight on a 12 hour flight fully stocked and 4 hours into the flight the bastards had drank the place dry!…Not a bad effort…
.....and you'd have a job with the gerni both inside and out!......it'd be gangs of fun hosing the kennels out...
Not me mate I was driving…Phat thirsty Germans..There’s one to beat if we ever do an around Australia GG tour in a Renta Plane…
