As a flight simulator enthusiast, my first encounter with flight simulation software dates back to 2010 and ever since I have gained pretty much amateur (or professional? Just kidding :) ) experience on Microsoft Flight Simulator (X and 2020), AeroflyFS (iPad ver.) and Prepar3D. I especially love to steer Boeing passenger jets, such as PMDG 737/747/777, QualityWings/Aerofly 787.
As a plane spotter, I am a member of Dalian Aviation Photographer Group but currently I am available in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. My shooting equippment is Nikon D500 with Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm and Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary. Over the past few years, I have also left great plane spotting memories in many cities and airports, including:
- Dalian Zhoushuizi Intl. Airport (DLC/ZYTL) [MY BASE]
- Shenzhen Baoan Intl. Airport (SZX/ZGSZ) [CURRENT CITY]
- Shenyang Taoxian Intl. Airport (SHE/ZYTX)
- Beijing Capital Intl. Airport (PEK/ZBAA)
- Hong Kong Intl. Airport (HKG/VHHH) Below are some photos of some special or interesting aircrafts taken at different airports (© 2023 Yanjun Liu All Rights Reserved).
