Currently in the Philippines on a very short planned visit to my daughter who is unwell. Made 8 at Heathrow on Friday the 10th.
First flight on an Airbus A350 - RP-C3508 to Manila. Next day arrival in Manila for an hour spotting where I made 14
before my flight on PAL A321 RP-C9924 to Davao. Best being 3 x PAL B777-300, A4O-DH A330-300 Oman Air and
P2-PXC B737-800 Air Niugini.
A visit to an aerial crop spraying company near to where I am staying and a friendly bunch allowed me to log the
4 crop sprayers -
RP-R2374 Thrush 510G
RP-R5488 Cessna 188 AgTruck
RP-R2908 Cessna 188 Husky
RP-R2709 Cessna 188 AgTruck
Also RP-C2354 Grumman AG64 AgCat was doing the spraying that morning, and what a sight to see and hear
this at VERY low level right over the top of my daughter's house
Security is very tight in this country and, even though I was very fortunate to be able to gain access to the hangar,
I have been asked not give details of the company or where the airfield is located, as public access is
not possible (coupled with the fact that our hobby is not known here, and using binoculars does raise eyebrows)
I will have a little longer at Manila on Sunday the 26th on my return, and daylight hours too.
Hopefully more to report then
