Plane Spotting Around the World 2006 Review

[hkskyline]

As 2006 draws to a close, it's time to do a compilation thread of the airplane spotting photos I have taken during the year. Here is the collection, covering cities including Hong Kong, New York, London, Bangkok, Chicago, and Calgary.

My favourite plane spotting experience was Bangkok, which had a lot of international visitors, and not just regional flights from around Asia. Thailand is a very popular long-haul tourist destination, so there was a lot of variety to spot.

Great pictures... thank you.

I suppose there is a business case for using those Bombardier and Embraer regional jets, but I despise them... every flight I've taken on them has been full to the gunwales, telling me that a 737 would probably have worked on that route, and the little regionals are always so cramped inside.

What's the story on that Trans Canada Air Lines livery? I have never seen or heard that they were doing that.
