Sorry about the following blurries, the were take from a dirty window going at least 30knots (pilots were taxiing very fast)



The old ATC tower



Old rusty hanger



AN-26's (?)



Some MIL helicopters



MORE hangers



There's the terminal



The new tower




Preparing for a flight to 1 - Hanoi or 2 - Da Nang



My first ever view of an Ilyushin!!!!! (Lots of Russians go to Vietnam - At Doc Let our beach resort had the menus in English and Russian)

Video soon to come

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

Nice! Do they really use a 777 to go from Saigon to Hanoi? How far is it?

Invercargill - Auckland would be the length.

There are quite a few people that fly between the destinations also reposition flights

Also they were taxiing fast because taxiing at 20knots its a three - five minute journey to the terminal from the end of the runway.
