Boeing's diversion, a photo from Hong Kong, South

Photographer's Note

Everyone knows Boeing 747, but this is Boeing 929 Jetfoil, a much less famous vehicle. It is quite surprising that Boeing once manufactured hydrofoils, but on the other hand these almost fly too!
Boeing built more than twenty 929s between 1974 and 1985. Later a few more were built under license in Japan and China.

A company called TurboJET is the largest Boeing Jetfoil operator in the world, and provides 24 hour service between Hong Kong and Macau.

Hello Kari,

Now here is a Boeing I did not know about. It's an excellent actions shot with a clear crisp image of the hydrofoil, set against the blur of a background.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Kari,

Very interesting note and a stunning shot to see this vessel in action.

I took one of these to visit Macau while in Hong Kong, but I never realized that we were flying so high above water!

At the speed the jetfoil seems to go, it surprising you were not naturally panning (despite your will), and you came out with a very sharp image on the machine, as well as on the background.

Great capture and presentation.

Cheers!

André
