Philippine Airlines just retired RP-C8168. I think her final resting place will be in Tupelo.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! :biggrin: Here's more! :biggrin:

Hawaiian 456 leaves Manila for the last time. She's a favorite among the spotters, we're hoping she'll return soon. Sorry for the quality, shot at ISO12800.

Yep that's RP-C8168 :biggrin:


Here's some more.

Here's RP-C8620, notice the presidential seal on door R-1. She was previously used by the President for his trip to somewhere in Asia.

[ManilaSpotter]

Another batch.

Our version of Air Force One. This is Kalayaan One, or Bluebird 1250 when the president is not on board. She's used for domestic/short hops across Asia. This Fokker 28 only has around 4000 hours on her airframe. She still uses the original RR Spey! Always putting on a show.

My favorite angle for the triple seven.

Antonov? Nope! This is the chinese-made MA-60. :biggrin:
