  • My first plane spotting session at this particular spot - West Field Garage. It's by far the best spotting location of SFO in my opinion. Please note that in order to spot at this place, you would have to ask for permission at www.flysfo.com

    我的朋友福康! Thank-you for taking the time to share your experience at San Francisco Airport. It seems as if San Francisco has the best observation location for the general public to access. I always did think you had more video to share when you posted the push back, taxi, and takeoff of the Lufthansa A380 in your last video. Always know how much I appreciate what you do on our behalf. I hope all is well with you and your family. I also hope you will find more time to relax and enjoy yourself, and that you will not always have to work so hard. Thank-you again. I am looking forward to viewing your next post.

      Hello Guerry my friend! I didn't realize that there is such a location until recently. It's truly the best location for plane spotting around SFO that I have ever been to. Luckily we can access the best location, the top floor of the employee garage, through application. I happened to find some time to enjoy the annual Fleet Week Airshow in San Francisco today, fantastic weather and performance. I should be able to share some footage soon. Likewise, I hope all is well with you and your family! I will see you soon on my next video.

    You can also film from the garage @ the A pier go to the top floor and you can get so close-up of the arrivals of BA, Korean etc and anyone that parks at gates A2-4-6-8-10 and from Air Train the best one are @ Terminal 2. I used to be a Fueler @ SFO most of my flights were BA, Japan Virgin, Alitalia when they were flying here. and a few others that was back in 2001.

    • @fuhkangliao1
      @fuhkangliao1  5 лет назад

      Could you share more information of the garage that you mentioned? Is that the Garage A? Sounds like a great spot to be. Air Train station at T2 is a great one too. I went there for a few times, great for runway 28 takeoff. Alitalia no longer flies to SFO but I hope I can see it in the future.

      Obviously it's not a direct flight because EVA is a Taipei-based airline, so it has to stop off in Taiwan. Whatever flight that you are referring to direct to Singapore is either based in the US or Singapore. But my original statement still stands, it's my favorite airline to fly to Bangkok

      @forreal22 3 года назад

      Timothy Cook There are many exceptions to this rule though, with fifth freedom flights. For example, EVA flies direct from Bangkok to London, Vienna and Amsterdam without a stop in Taipei; this is because Bangkok is a focus city/secondary hub for EVA.

    • @martintheiss743
      @martintheiss743 5 лет назад

      Depends on the carrier's fleet, needs, passenger traffic, and ultimately cargo. Air Canada needs to retain profitability and service so they need to design their route traffic (such as assigning which plane type to each airport and flight code) to align themselves with what revenue comes best with that particular code number.

      What are the differences between 841 and 800?

    • @Andreleal002
      @Andreleal002 5 лет назад

      The 800 is the aircraft serie...
      1st digit represents the version.
      2nd digit represents engine manufacturer, i.e., 4 for Rolls Royce Engines and 6 for Engine Alliance Engines. Since, A380 has only two engines as options for airliners, let us not worry about what number goes for other manufacturers.
      3rd digit represents engine type which depends on the aircraft model.
      A380-841 => RR Trent 970-84 or 970B-84.
      A380-842 => RR Trent 972-84 or 972B-84
      A380-861 => GP 7270 by Engine Alliance
