Plane Spotting At KIX .... Part II

And my Plane Spotting mania at KIX - Kansai International Airport continues - I could do all this thanks to Neeti who willingly came along with me to see this view of the airport!

The Hawaiian Airbus A330 all set to head back home to Honolulu...

And there she's perfectly lined up on the taxiway...

A lineup of ANA jets with Asiana and Emirates adding some spice...

The Hawaiian Airbus A330 taxis towards the runway just as a Japan Airlines Boeing 737 makes its way towards the ramp...

A Japan Airlines Boeing 777 being towed away towards the technical area...

Pushback time for the Airbus A321 of Beijing Capital Airlines...

Time for some exotica - a Turkish Airlines Airbus A330 in her retro livery...

ANA Boeing 767 pushes back...

The Turkish Airlines Airbus A330 heads to the runway...

The Turkish Airbus A330 all set to head back home to Istanbul's Attaturk International Airport...

And so does the Cebu Pacific - I must say a quick turnaround...

And it's time to head back, have a quick dinner and turn in for the night, before we head back to Incheon in the morning...

But not before checking out the displays here. And I found this model - of a East African Airways Super VC10 - a classic airliner that my parents flew on, often...

And another one from yesteryears - a model of a Pan Am Boeing 727...

And another one - a model of an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 707 in its classic retro livery!

Plane Spotting At KIX .... Part I

And so here we are, back at Kansai International Airport, for the night, before we fly back home tomorrow. And there couldn't be a better thing to do here than to do some Plane Spotting...

Waiting at Gate 1 for a shuttle bus to take us to the Observation Hall, which is located by the side of Terminal 1, at the end of the runway...

The tail of the China Airlines Boeing 747-400 is visible while we wait for the shuttle bus...
