Howdee one and all,
In this thrilling installment, we head down to the 'once' popular plane spotting location of Barangay Multinational in Manila.
I say 'once popular' as a second fence has now made it hard to get shots of anything that isn't flying over you. No doubt due to the ongoing paranoia of the security guards who kept trying to enforce a 'no photography from a public roadway' rule.
This was near on a decade ago now, so we will check out the planes of the time, plus have a little look at the barangay that runs along the fenceline.
For the Plunzels (or Avgeeks if you really prefer), I shall aim to include what the situation is for each aircraft is as of February 2021. I am not a fulltime Plunzel, so apologise for any errors, as I am going off information from elsewhere.
Lunch with the FILDAC guys before heading to Brgy Multinational.
This was the local diecast aircraft collectors group that I was involved with.

Now with Scoot and currently parked.
First flight was in 1988 (N401PW), beginning around 8 months of testing, before being delivered to Northwest Airlines as their N661US in 1989.
In 2009, the merger with Delta Airlines saw her become part of their fleet.
Two years later I find her here in Manila.
Four years later, on September 9th 2015 (my birthday it turns out), she has her last ever flight, from Honolulu to Atlanta.
