Manila/Ninoy Aquino

A bit of late night drama, in that our Philippines AirAsia flight for tomorrow evening has been cancelled. Could be to do with the incoming Typhoon Fung Wong which is due to make land North of here at Luzon tomorrow but other airlines appear to running this sector down to Cebu, regardless. We experienced in Taiwan last year, these destructive and powerful storms seem fairly common in this part of the world. It’s been less than a week since a different storm (Kalmaegi) killed at least 200 people and left a trail of destruction in Cebu.

The Philippine Air Force Aerospace Museum has been closed for some time and they made some announcements via social media that they would be reopening soon. Not soon enough as we tried to get in at the military base gate and were politely turned away. The guardsmen explained that it wasn’t open just yet……https://www.facebook.com/PAFMuseum/

The following log is in military first, then country prefix, airline, type and reg order and the few photographs of aircraft, and hotel views can be seen here;
