以前武漢に向うカンタスの747の救出チャーター便の記事を出しましたが、今度はなんと、エティハド!しかもA388です☆
I posted the article of Qantas chartered flight with 747, this time the airline is Etihad. And the ship is A388☆
3月3日の夜は最近スイスエアがA343なので、久しぶりなので夜空港で夜撮影をしようと計画し、何気なくFlightraderの出発予定を見ていたら、、、、
These days Swiss changes the ship from B777 to A343, it was so long before I had seen them last time that I was planning to go to airport to take night shots of Swiss A343 at night on 3rd March and when I was seeing the schedules on Flightradar, I found....
23時10分発の武漢に向うエティハドのEY8007便を発見!しかも機材がA388☆
Etihad's EY8007 to Wuhan would depart on 23:10PM! And the showed ship was A388☆
本当かよと思って、到着を調べたら、本当にEY8006で7時27分に着いていたので、離陸はほぼ確実。万一の早出に備えて23時に空港に着く予定だったのを、少し早めて22時半に着くように空港に向いました。
I really wondered if it would actually depart and checked its arrival and found it actually had arrived at 7:27AM as EY8006. I got sure that it would depart☆☆I left home earlier to arrive at airport 22:30 in case for early depart.(I originally planned to arrive at airport at 23:00)
朝もフライトレーダーを見ていたのに、気づかなかった自分に怒りを覚えつつ、どちみち気づいていても会社なので撮れないので、反省するも、恐らく一生に一度の撮影なのに、夜撮影だと全滅する可能性もあるので、ドキドキしながら空港に向いました。
Getting angry to me that I had not been aware of its arrival because I saw flightrader in the morning but even if I knew it, I could not go to the airport due to my work, I reflected it but more than it, it must be the last time to see Etihad A388 at HKG but taking night shots sometimes end to fail all shots, I really concernded about it so much.
当日は調子が悪く練習した他の便で全滅もあったので、直前までかなりドキドキでしたが、23時17分に離陸してきたのエティハドのA388を撮影したのがこちら☆↓
I tried to practice on other flights but I failed all with some so I sweated so much and below is the one of the shots of Etihad A388 took off at 23:17PM☆↓
ポイント候補は、背景のある25エンドか空バックの空港の車寄せかで迷いましたが、機材を調べたらA6-APEでスペマで機体の後ろの方に柄があるので、機体全体が撮れる空港の車寄せを選択しました☆
At first I wondered which point I should go of the two, 25L end point or carriage porch on the terminal 1. I found this ship, A6-APE wears special markings on its tail so I decided to go to carriage porch to take whole body of it☆
まぁ、エンドの場合は顔しか撮らないし、撮れない誘導路通られたら(←最大のリスク)終わりだし。
In addition to it I can take some Hong Kong back at the end point but I can take only the nose of planes and there are some risks that planes may taxi on the taxiway which I cannot take of planes on it(←the highest risk)
↑: 機首のピントが少し甘いけど、アンコリもゲット☆
↑: The focus on the nose was not completely exact but I could catch the ACL☆↑: とにかく最後まですごい緊張しました(笑)
↑: Anyway I got really excited until the last shot(^^;).
↑↑: しばらく見ていたら、本当に武漢まで向っていました☆
↑↑: I watched for a while, it actually faced to Wuhan☆
最後はオマケ☆スイスエアのA340☆The last is extra, Swiss A343☆
スイスエアのA343はB777になる前に夜撮影はほとんど済んではいますが、久しぶりに撮ろうと思わなかったら、そもそもエティハドのこの便にも気づかなかったと思うと、本当に感謝です☆
I have already taken almost all of them long time before, when they changed the ship from A343 to B777 but, thinking about that if I did not plan to take them at night this time I could not find this Etihad flight, I really appreciate with Swiss A340 for giving me this chance☆
