Amba Sevana restaurant near the lagoon is a perfect spot for plane spotting, unfortunately i was there yesterday just before sun down. I managed to take two pictures before it got dark.

Beautiful pictures taken along with nice scenary !! Does Aerolineas Argentinas have plans to retire their A343s ? if i can recall it correctly they lately taken delivery of couple of A332s. I am a big fan of Aero Mexico livey. I remember i saw a Aero Mexico B767-200 with the old silver livery in LHR few years ago. Not sure Aero Mexico still coming to LHR ? I have plans to visit LHR to share my plane spotting pictures on this forum. Are you still in Spain ? I heard Madrid has five airport runways is it true? Shame LHR is currently restricted with two runways.

SQ stopped doing special liveries, post SQ 006, as the SQ006 was a special Economy class promotional livery I recall. Somebody possibly theorised that the special livery caused the bad karma for the plane or something like that, I think ..

Wow!! Today SQ A380 has appeared with a special livery. Not sure about the aft rego? But It's surprising me to see the special livery on the SQ aircraft after the SQ006 flight incident happened fifteen years ago. I can see "SG50" written on this A380 aft engine. Perhaps this special livery for celebrating Singapore 50th anniversary? What do you think of this livery? I liked it though

That SG50 Logo is the "OFFICIAL" Logo for the 50the anniversary of Singapore's "Independence" - which is actually the separation from Malaysia, in 1965

The Official Logo is at https://www.singapore50.sg/

This being Singapore, the highly paid and efficient Civil Servants have standardised the Logo for the celebration. And like for "BRAND SINGAPORE" they have issued Brand usage guidelines, for the SG 50

And sort of related

During the recent fireworks demo for the SEA Games, there was a Super Puma on Orbit, and later it turns out, it was positioned to take down any drones that may fly into the fireworks
