This is my second installment from my time spent plane spotting in Hong Kong last week. If you missed Part One, you can see it HERE.

The following pictures were taken from the SkyDeck Observation Area located in Terminal 2, next to the IMAX theater. You’ll notice a bit of grain to these photos. It was later in the afternoon with very hazy and foggy conditions and not many pictures made the cut to be posted. It was a challenge to say the least!
DragonAir’s Airbus A330 Special 20th Anniversary Livery:
ANA’s Boeing 767:
Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A340:
Ethiopian’s MD-11F (Freighter):
Cathay Pacific’s Boeing 747-8F Freighter:
The next 2 were a couple of bonuses. The first one is a Cathay Pacific 747-400 parked just inside the fence near the Maintenance Facilities, near the “HAECO” bus stop for the S52 line.
The second one is one I captured from the bus going back to Tung Chung after my plane spotting session. It’s a classic DC-3 in historic Cathay Pacific livery parked in “Cathay City” at the airport.
@Andy F. Thanks for the kind words. I actually added a page to my site that puts together all of my plane spotting posts. Its listed on the right hand side under “Pages” or you can see them here:

Please note that I have several to add, so give me another day or 2 to finish it!
Nice shot!
I believe you have lots of other nice photos. Just wondering do you have flicker to share some with us 🙂
Thanks once again, I will be heading there tomorrow!
@flyer, when you enter the bus terminal, stay to your right. The s52 stand is maybe 70-100 metres from the entrance to the bus terminal (the entrance that is directly opposite from the train station). BTW, leave the tung chung station on the right hand side as you depart from the train. You know you’re on the right path when you see the city-gate mall to your right when you exit the train station. walk straight across the plaza to the buses, and stay to your right once inside the cover bus terminal. ALSO, very important, do not take S52P, only the S52….the S52P bus goes to a different location.
Thanks LHFlyer. I am staying in The Four Seasons @ IFC. getting to Tung Chung is no problem. The tricky part is to get to the spot, which you pointed out clearly. Thanks!
@Flyer708: I can help figure it out. Where are you staying?
you’ll have to take the MTR to Tung Chung, then walk over to the bus platform and take bus S52…NOT S52P
It’s the last stop on the S52 run. goes about every 20 minutes. once you get off the bus at HAECO/CASL (the last stop is between 2 Maintenance facilities). head left off the bus, perhaps 100-200 meters, and then you’ll see an opening on the right, perhaps 30-40 meters wide.
Superb photos. It just so happened that I am vacationing in HKG at the moment, could you tell me how (in detail) you get to those spots from Tung Chung? Much appreciated.
As always, nice photos! That gray day worked well as a backdrop.
Wow, you picked a great day for plane spotting!
Looking forward to Part III:-)
