    Thanks. Its really create that you have this English section here now.

    I put one more today and then that's it at least for a week. Earlier today I finnally got one of these. I think this is last of the five ex China Xinjiang Airlines ATR72's which came here to maintenance and left here wearign China Southern c/s. It was flying test flights today, so it will soon go back to China.

    тип, I don't remember. I think it was mentioned somewhere when first ones came and go, but I don't remember where that information was. But it sure more technical stops that I hope to have, when I leave to China today :D Or at least I hope that my flight leaving in 3,5 hours and it will be direct flight :eek: Two Finnair's MD-11 were late yeasterday and one them was Helsinki - Beijing flight.

    I planing to do some spotting tommorrow in Beijing, otherwise it just one these trips were I can see lot of intresting aircrafts, but not taking any pictures...

    Zege, guys are very interested do you have any information about what routes are usually used for the planes transfer from Finland to Asia (especially to China)? And what airports are used for landings on these routes (especially russian airports)?

    Sorry guys, I tried search some old messages, but I didn't found anything of those routes even I was pretty sure I have saw something. I also haven't heard if this one already have flight plan. As far as I know that one is still in Finland and no idea when it will leave. It was pretty ready of course, because it already made test flights.

    Unfortunately I got to leave now, so I can't help with this one more. But in future if I have anything about any possible transfer flights I will let you know.

    I don't want to sound picky, but why the partially Russian subject in the dedicated English-speaking forum? Supposedly, many readers wouldn't be able to decipher what 'Финляндия' is about.

    Liked the pics though.
