Departing Manila stock photo

Leaving Manila International Airport at this time of day can sometimes lead to delays(not on the gates but on the runways) as the landing and takeoff sequence is longer than usual. The plane on the runway is Air Philippines flight PR 989 just gathering speed for takeoff, bound for Iloilo City. Getting ready to position on the runway(near the far end of the runway) is Philippine Airlines flight PR503, bound for Singapore onwards to Jakarta. Trailing PR503, is Air Philippines flight PR 925 bound for Davao City. About to follow PR 925, is Northwest Airlines flight NW 20, headed for Narita, Tokyo. A bit behind is Cebu Pacific flight 5J 383, leavig for Cagayan de Oro. Near the right quadrant of the image is a Boeing 747-400, just leaving the gate, this is Philippine Airlines flight PR300 heading for Hongkong. At its final boarding phase at the international terminal I, is Singapore Airlines flight SQ 915 bound for Singapore, and China Southern flight CZ 378 bound for Beijing. Sometimes, you get to know all these information if the control tower communication regularly plays in your ears. Sometimes, you get to know them, if you are at the airport at this time of the day, and frequently. Sometimes, you just get to know the schedules -- if you read a lot of stuff AND use your common sense. As for the aircraft I'm on -- that's for you to think about. Let's just say, sometimes, I like guessing games. hahahaha.
