You're welcome Homer and am glad you enjoyed the shots. Negative for now on PAL LAX photos but hopefully one day soon.

There is a limited gallery of PAL in Vancouver and Las Vegas:

Inaugural MNL-LAS flight photos will be added soon.

Few years ago the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority sent PAL a MNL-SAN Air Service Opportunities presentation. If MNL-SAN comes into fruition I hope to post a gallery of it and MNL-SEA as well.

Post a message of your intended flight to SFO and I just might take shots of your plane's arrival and send them to you as a souvenir. :)

San Francisco has been Philippine Airlines' destination (their first U.S. mainland destination) since they started flying trans-Pacific services - the first Asian airline to do so - in 1946. Thank you very much for putting these shots up, philippineaviation, for those who haven't flown PAL to the U.S. (like myself; although I DEFINITELY will on my next U.S. trip) to enjoy seeing and experiencing before they get the opportunity. Do you have some shots taken in Los Angeles too? (LAX was the first destination to which they started non-stop services with 747-400s in 1993; SFO 744 non-stop services began only later, in 1995.)
