Oh this is too funny separate incident but involving an Asian Spirit plane - the plane was full of KOREANS!!! (sorry not that a plane crash is something to laugh about, but you know...)

And Ishbaby, here's the Asian Spirit plane at the wonderful busuanga international airport (after they shooed away the goats from the landing strip). Shugar, sorry no exotic animals but a domesticated rooster... no zulus there as well to greet us...

halthron - yeah looks like you guys had the same kind of viz I had on my trip. great wrecks though and still worth the trip!

edit: I hope they improved the road from the airport to Coron. That was the most bone jarring jeepney ride of my life...

edit2: BTW, that exact plane crashed in Manila bay some years ago...

As long as no one was seriously hurt, it can be funny.

"We are now planning for a water landing. We have sited a reef, you will find your emergency landing fins under your seat. Please place them on your feet. When you exit the plane..."
