B-18007 = dopamine hit @chinaairlines.tw makes @yvrairport โ€˜s scenery unmatched when B-18007 decides to touchdown right in front of a snow-capped Mt. Baker. Even though itโ€™s a regular for me, that Boeing house livery still clearsโ€”such a nice break from the usual liveries. Watching a GE90-powered beast flex against the mountains is honestly the only therapy I need. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Aircraft info: Aircraft type: Boeing 777-309ER Operator: China Airlines (CI/CAL) ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ Registration: B-18007 Engines: 2x General Electric GE90-115B Age: 9.9y/o โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Shot on Nikon D810, Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Date: 2026/04/07 Photo Copyright ยฉ Jerome Lin โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Tags: @chinaairlines.tw @boeing @yvrairport #chinaairlines #boeing777300er #b18007 #aviation #aviationphoto

โ€ขB-KQUโ€ข Cathay Pacific has recently introduced a new edition to its โ€œSpirit of Hong Kongโ€ series, and this Boeing 777-300ER, adorned in the 80th Anniversary of Cathay Pacificโ€œGallery in the Skiesโ€ edition, made its second-ever visit to Vancouver since it was unveiled. This special livery, a collaboration with the West Kowloon Cultural District, transforms the aircraft into a flying canvas of contemporary art, marking a bold and vibrant departure from the airlineโ€™s traditional look. Catching B-KQU in a place with a large Hong Kong diaspora gives a stunning look at this intricate tribute to Hong Kongโ€™s creative energy and eighty years of aviation history. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Aircraft info: Aircraft type: Boeing 777-367ER Operator: Cathay Pacific (CX/CPA) ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Registration: B-KQU Engines: 2x General Electric GE90-115B Age: 11.3y/o ๐Ÿ“ธ: Nikon D810, Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Date: 2026/03/12 Photo Copyright ยฉ Jerome Lin โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Tags: @cathaypacific @westk.hk #@yvrairport #cathaypacific #spiritofhk #boeing777300er #aviation

โ€ขB-2007โ€ข China Southern has made a quiet resumption of their Guangzhou to Vancouver service, but B-2007 is easily the standout of their Boeing 777-300ER fleet. This one being the first one delivered to the airline in 2014, is adorned in the โ€œWorldSkills Shanghai 2022โ€ special livery. Since the resumption of their service in September, she has flown here twice bringing a rare burst of colour to our gloomy West Coast winter evening. It was a treat to catch this high-detailed livery against the backdrop of the dark night-it really highlights just how much effort went into this vibrant design. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿงกโš™๏ธ๐Ÿฆฟโœˆ๏ธ โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Aircraft info: Aircraft type: Boeing 777-31BER Operator: China Southern Airlines (CZ/CSN) ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Registration: B-2007 Engines: 2x General Electric GE90-115B Age: 11.7y/o ๐Ÿ“ธ: Nikon D810, Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD Date: 2026/03/05 Photo Copyright ยฉ Jerome Lin โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Tags: @chinasouthernamerica @china_southern #chinasouthern #boeing777300er #b2007 #aviation #aviationlovers

โ€œThe galaxy prepares to say goodbye to a legendโ€ @allnipponairways C-3PO themed Boeing 777 has been one of the most recognizable special liveries in aviation the last decade. For everyone in the aviation community, itโ€™s such a pity that her days are numbered all of sudden. She was another crossover between aviation and popular culture. A rare sight only available in Japan which drew cameras wherever it flew with even planespotters coming from abroad to catch this piece of art. It ultimately became a fixture in the global spotting community. As her days are officially numbered on January 9, this aircraft takes its place in aviation history โ€” not for how long it flew, but for how many people it inspired along the way. Sheโ€™ll live on in the memories of those who followed it. Farewell C-3PO! May the force be with you, always. ๐Ÿ’› Many thanks to my friend Tok Nizon @yamabikotsubasa145 for letting me edit his shots of this beauty! โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Airline: All Nippon Airways (ANA/NH) ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Aircraft type: Boeing 777-281(ER) Registration: JA743A MSN: 40902 Engines: 2x PW4074D Age: 12.8y/o Remarks: Painted in โ€œStar Wars - C-3POโ€ special colours March 2017 Route: NH246 Fukuoka (FUK/RJFF) ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต- Tokyo Haneda (HND/RJTT) ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Photo copyright ยฉ๏ธ Tok Nizon Edited by ยฉ๏ธJerome Lin DM for repost requests โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ“ธ: Nikon D850 + NIKKOR 80-200mm f2.8D ED 1/320s F/9.0 ISO 100 2024/12/15 โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Tags: @allnipponairways @ana.japan #allnipponairways #c3pojet #boeing777200 #aviation #aviationphotography

Danke @lufthansa for sending your pencils to Hong Kong International Airport for over two years!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ Today marks the end of flight LH796 being operated by the Airbus A340-600 after serving Asiaโ€™s World City for over 2 years. During its duration, it has captivated many aviation enthusiasts in Hong Kong through its uniquely stretched fuselage and 4 huge Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines. There were also a handful of plane spotters around the world who would chase after this beast during their visit to HKG. It was back in March of this year when I visited Hong Kong and cherished the opportunity to see it up close. I remember how much I marveled at this strikingly massive monstrosity from the terminal. Sheโ€™ll certainly be sorely missed among avgeeks including me. Rest-assured that one of these will be preserved.
