Remarks: While the plane was already taxing on the runway to the threshold for takeoff the pilots received a message that they had to wait on the threshold for some last minute documents from the dispatcher. Luckily EPGD is not a very busy airport and there was no other arriving or departing traffic at the moment – they were waiting 9-10 minutes on the runway. And the only way to deliver these documents was through an open window since the aircraft was ready for takeoff ;)
Remarks: Extremely rare visitor from Iceland at EPGD - maybe even a first-time visitor. Operating on a charter flight KEF-GDN-OSL-KEF. Quite a lot of smoke during engine no. 2 start-up.
Remarks: I couldn't restrain myself from taking this photo ;). Best regards to these two on the photo! SkyDeck - [Google Earth 22°19'2.50"N 113°56'12.32"E]
Remarks: In the background you can see Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car - unfortunately it was closed for the rope maintenance work during my whole stay in Hong Kong :(
