    I was trying to get it but cldnt get a clear view of the reg number it was like 4R-A.. ) ANYWAY I SAW THE BUSINESS CLASS WAS HAVING THE NEW ENTERTAINMENT FACILITY , but the economy class was kind of stone age no personal screens only which was displyed on the main screens n that was displaying plane's status airspeed etc . headphones not provided , i was expecting some nice looking meal but it cam as just a aluminium foil type rice , brinjall and green peace .. and for desert newdale yogurt :P I must admit that when KF was flying this sector there economy class was far far far better than this n there ticket was way less i used to buy kf up n down for LKR 17.000/- when UL was 22,000/- only thing was i flew in a wide body ac after 1997 , my last widebdy exp was cmb- Fukuoka with CX so after a long long time i was sitting in a A 330-200 so had some room than a A 320 or B 737 other than that plan was so bad , but i didnt care abt coz it was a only one hour flight , if it was more than that then seriously it has to be better , but hence they are charging this much they should look after the facility :/

              It's good to see Air China B747 in Colombo. I read on the news that this Chinese VIP visted Sri Lanka on a four day visit starting from 15-Sep to 18-Sep. Does this mean this aircraft (B-2447) was stayed in CMB on those four days? confirm please?

                          This is a view from Changi Beach .. credits to Jetphotos.net (I am not the photographer .. nor I am anywhere near Singapore .. )



                          The red colour vessel is the airport fire rescue hovercraft - in case of any crash in the water .. I seen them taking off in less than 10 minutes and hovercrafts to some major speed even on choppy waters ..

                          More info here ..

                          WSSS spotting location at Changi Beach Park (google earth 1.391620, 103.991177) in the afternoon when 20R is used for landing. A bit of rubbish washed up on the beach from passing ships. There is shade, a toilet and a water cooler nearby. If you don't drive, there is a bus-stop nearby. Three buses serve that bus stop. You may get more information at publictransport.sg. This area is popular with the locals during the weekends.. WSSS. Airport.

                                I think it's A330. Is this plane flying between East and West ?
