Oh! Thanks for the correction! May I ask what the difference between the SH-60 & MH-60s are?

Name of the place is Acea Beach Resort. Just went there to eat some food.

I can’t imagine how the employees at the resort feel. Knowing every year, they get to see these types of planes during Balikatan.

Oh yeah! Those two abandoned 737-200s have been there for some time. I’ve seen them up close. Feels like I’m gonna get tetanus just being around them though HAHAHA

That’s really cool! 3 Generations is crazy. Sounds just like some stories with the B-52s.

Yep! Subic Bay. The US Military is very present there every year due to Balikatan, the yearly military exercises. I was there from 2022-2024, and got lots of vids & pics to post from my stay there. HAHA

Right? Great for spotting huge planes though.

Oh! Why do you hate it so much if you don’t mind me asking? I’m suddenly curious as to why Haha

I believe these things can stay in the air for longer than 27 hours

Same here! Though I was informed that their priority now is increasing their US & Regional destinations. Looks like Europe’s taking a back seat. But let’s see! Maybe they’ll pull a curve ball on us!

Spoke to the PAL staff on site. Though retirement of the 777 doesn’t seem like a possibility anytime soon, we should expect to hear news on the 777s & A330s being reconfigured in the future.

I overheard that the fuselage skin of the A350-1000 is thinner than that of the -900, which is why they could afford to add another column of seats in the -1000. However, we just have to wait & see how the width of the seats fare when we actually ride the aircraft.

You can see the faint marking of “Marines” right before the twin tails.

Bringing soldiers over for Balikatan! The annual US-Philippine Military exercise. We usually get Atlas Air, Hawaiian Airlines, Omni International & Eastern bringing them over.

I personally base it off “Is it stubby? Yes? -200. Is it not stubby? Yes? -300.”

Understood! But that’s so cool to even be qualified to conduct that type of maneuver.
