Plane Spotting At TPE

Though I was a trifle disappointed on spending just about an hour in Taiwan, the Plane Spotting opportunities more than made up for it!

A Xiamen Airlines Boeing 737 from across the Straits...

Another one from the Mainland - a Shandong Airlines Boeing 737...

And another Xiamen Airlines Boeing 737...

It is unimaginable that despite the political animosity, there is quite a bit of interaction between China and Taiwan...

An EVA Air Airbus A320, this one has sharklets!

Cathay Pacific's Boeing 777 - there are at least 19 Cathay flights a day between Taoyuan and Chep Lap Kok. I am not counting other carriers which would take the count above 30. That's incredible... 

Docking at the gate...

The Shandong Airlines Boeing 737 taxis towards the runway...

A Thai Airbus A330 comes in...

Pushback for the bird from Xiamen....

And the Cathay Pacific Boeing 777 is the next to be pushed back...

There comes in the queen - China Airlines Boeing 747-400...

Another carrier from the Mainland - Juneyao Airlines Airbus A320...

And she pushes back, on her way back to Hong Kong...

The China Airlines jumbo taxis towards the parking bays...

China Southern Airbus A320...

TransAsia Airways Airbus A320 - a Taiwanese carrier...

We pushback...

The Thai Airbus A330 at the gate...

Spring Airlines from Shanghai...

We heads towards the China Airlines hangars...

An Air Hong Kong Airbus A300 freighter...

A China Airlines Boeing 747-400 freighter...

I love this livery...

A China Airlines Airbus A340...

That's a lovely way to say bye to Taiwan...
