    Probably more of a question regarding life than plane spotting but can anyone shed some light on it, the plane spotting? :)

    as you say it is just a past-time like fishing or bird-watching. It can be exiting to see something rare such as the Bahrain 747 due this morning.

    Why do some people like cars ?

    Why do some people like shoes ?

    Why do some people like graphic books ?

    Why do some people like computer games ?

    Each to their own I guess, and it can be hard/difficult to explain.

    It won't be A9C-HAK the SP, she's been stored since April. The new A9C-HAK is a 747-400, it was re registered 2 weeks ago

    Such a pity, I was really looking forward to seeing the SP. One of my favourite variants of the 747.

    So this was originally destined for Philippines Airlines (PAL) but the order was not taken up. F6 is Boeing code for PAL.

    The only thing better than a -400 is a -SP :):)

    http://www.747sp.com/747sp-production-list/ shows that there are only 13 of them left in service.

    Wow, A9C-HAK was built in 1987, thats about 5 years later than the previous one, so it was a really special order.

    Just checked there, she is line number 676, the last 747SP built, and she was built in 1989.

    Well today was an eventful planespot for me. I got a good video of the 744 and it's uploading now, but as I was walking to the car I got dizzy, and for the first time in my life I fainted, at the Dublin airport spotters hill. Lol

    It's here to be painted so it will be in for at least a week, I'd say.

    Looks like 3 Air Corps helis are flying a holding pattern near the airport?

    anyone know why?

    In work so can't get the ATC feed.
