Remarks: One of UA's last 747-400s painted in the older (IMHO more attractive) color scheme from the 1990s. Here the bird is towed to the hardstand for use later in the day (1200x800 pixels).
Remarks: Arriving from Tokyo-Narita. Unfortunately these United 747's will soon be a thing of the past at ORD after having had a long career at O'Hare.
Remarks: Wow.. Im speechless.. How often can you see a plane taking off Runway 07R with the background of the Tung Chung apartments? Indeed it is usual for United to use up atleast 3/4 of the 3800m runway at HKG but on this day it was not the case. She rotated off at the touchdown point of Runway 25L! UNITED 896 heading to Chicago O'hare in the Morning.
