The Lappy's been acting up lately. Crawls like a retarded snail with polio.
So whilst cleaning up some of my photo folders, came across these 2 old pics I took with my crappy made-in-Indonesia Nikon. These were taken during the 'grand opening' of Alliance International, my miniature
HerpaWings model airport named after the Star Alliance of airlines it was supposed to serve =))
Coincidentally, in the news today, Oasis HongKong's inaugural budget long-haul flight to London was grounded because the Russians withdrew their over-flight rights at the last minute.
How these agreements for the use of airspace are worked out beats the hell out of me. I mean, this is not the first time a country has thrown a spanner in the works on a budget airline. Do these Airheads ever learn? Anyway, Oasis (formed in Feb 05) currently has a fleet of 2 Ex-Singapore Airlines B747-400s. Good choice I must say, since our National Flag carrier has an obsession with maintaining a bevy of Sweet Young Things. So the 2
MegaTops they offloaded to Oasis would still be pretty nubile =)) Actually one of the planes is
only 17 years old, having served on China Airlines and Iberia Airlines previously =P
If anyone has a chance to fly on Oasis, could you get me a model of the plane in 1:500 scale please? Pretty nice livery doncha tink? Looks like I have to start a Budget Terminal next =))
And for those of you who are disappointed, just like me, that SQ's First To Fly the A380 programme didn't quite..erm...take-off, have a look at this. 75,000 pieces, 600 hours, 125 Kg in 1:25 scale. Droolz...
At LegoLand Denmark no less. I want one!
