excellent - I like the way the second one reveals that there is a big bridge in front of the building which isnt apparent in the first pic. thanks for posting

Cheers folks. Keith - I have many more and will share some more tomorrow. The deck is great too, everything taxies past close and the background is the city. Great airport.

The great thing about Songshan is for the approach shots you get various great backgrounds for each arrival. Here are some more arrival shots....

Cheers Rich. We were extremely lucky as we a lot of the Taiwan Air Force planes including the B737 (will share later). Even a local Taiwanese spotter was jumping up and down when the 737 taxied past so it probably wasn't that common in there.

Songshan is a great place with many places to take shots, just posted mine up. For information the ROCAF 737 is actually based there, the locals insist on calling it Air Force One! :)

Thanks ! The observation deck is great but the glass can be a problem. It can be a bit dirty with fingerprints etc. Also it is overrun with screaming kids ! It gets very hot in there also. Still worth going as the aircraft taxi by very close.
