Well, here are some of my collections,

but I love the airline logo.

as you can see, all my model collections are heavy,
big jet 747 and 380.
has my name on the menu.
These are very special memories, close to my heart.
And then the gold one was when I pass a million,
two years, 22 unique chapters of 747 story

(upbeat music)
Well, here are some of my collections
throughout a year's aviation adventures.
I have lots of flights certificate
during the background off the closets.
Then in the front here,
you can see a lots of nice dining wares of airlines.
What I do collect these anything
come with a logo on there.
So I don't collect generic white dishes,
but I love the airline logos.
Anything with the airline logo, love it.
You can see a lot of shot glasses,
wine glasses, Turkish coffee cup and Turkish airlines,
pepper, salt shaker, KLM,
the blue houses, Ethiopian Airlines,
salt and pepper shakers.
Sri Lankan even Bangladesh,
Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian,
Bhutanese Airlines, Mahan Air
Middle East Airlines.
And this one is also quite nice
It's Marine Mikko from Finnair.
So a lots of these cool, fine dining dishes,
I love them.
And the certificate behind
is also very, very special for me.
It is a British Airways,
my only supersonic Concorde flights
from New York to London,
just three hour, 18 minutes at 58,000 feet.
And this certificate here is also a very important milestone
it was a last ever Singapore Airlines, Boeing 747
I still remember that date six of April, 2012.
So I collect pretty much everything on the flight
so these are the amenity kits given
the first and business class.
This one is such a special one from Etihad,
when I flew the residents,
they actually put my initials on it
Another very special flight certificate
happened on 26, October, 2007.
Guess what happened that day?
Right, that was the first A380 commercial flights
in the world by Singapore Airlines.
As you can see, all my model collections
are heavy, big jet 747 and 380
just like my shirts,
remembering the big jets in the sky.
This one has my name on the menu
and on the welcome letter.
And then if you remember this was
onboarding Etihad residents in the A380,
there also lots of personal momento like,
crew fees on board
and all the nice Christmas card I received.
Everything I received on the flight,
I put them here when I came home,
I personally appreciate and treasure
every single piece of memory,
a lots of great menus on special flights,
Qatar Airways inaugural A350 1,000 special manual
on the last ever LDL 747 flight
a special breakfast menu painted with 747 notes.
And how could you not love this one?
That Eva Air, hello kitty.
This is bad thoughts modern
Over the years,
I attended lots of special aviation,
and milestone events
and I actually collect all of the badges,
I kept them here and it reminded me
those events I've been to.
Over here, you see more aeroplane model,
these are very special memories, close to my heart
because I've flown every single type.
Out of this particular one is very special,
if you see the front,
it's actually a combination of a 747 this side
and the Antonov 124 on this side.
And then so one is a low wing,
one is a high wing and they have four engine.
What a genius came up with a model like this
combined an Antonov with the Boeing 747,
the giant freighter in the sky.
This is a Chinese made aeroplane,
It is actually called the ARJ 21
I flew in China last year.
And now the next one
oh, this one is Bhutan Airlines.
You remember the most dangerous approach
into Paro Airport,
I was in the cockpit of serving that crazy approach.
And then this one is not KLM,
it's actually Shalom Airline
I flew this 787 Dreamliner
with sustainable development goals of UN
and then the bigger one model here,
This is a beautiful model
of only three engine private jet Taso Falcon,
latest flagship AXE.
I flew Abu Dhabi to Paris onboard inside,
and I was here.
And of course the last one's one of my favourite
787 Biman Bangladesh.
I flowed this with a few lucky winners
of a giveways together in Bangladesh
Beautiful aeroplane model.
So here is more trophy that I treasure personally,
first one was the YouTube trophy
when I pass a hundred thousand, the silver
and then the gold one was when I pass a million,
two years ago and who knows what's next.
This is a piece of stone,
it was painted by a very talented Turkish Airline crew
to welcome me flying on Turkish Airlines.
And they have me dressed up as the
Turkish Airline flight attendants,
and they say marvellous pieces stone.
This one, you probably have seen my recent video,
it was signed by all the A380 crew.
This is on my 40th birthday flight
on the Amherst A380 to Cairo.
Right now, there are just too many models to collect.
So personally I collect pretty much everything
I like and I have flown on.
I remember the good old time on the Thai MV 11,
which I've flown between Australia and Thailand
also internally in Thailand a lot.
And it's just a beautiful livery
if you look at nostalgic.
(upbeat music)
Well, that's not all yet,
that was just the beginning.
Now I'm going to show you more stuff
'cause I have so much
I'm going to open all the shelf here.
A Guinness Record, flight certificate of the Emirates,
EK 2019, Year Of Tolerance Flights.
We've 145 nationalities,
and then the captains and the crew were signed.
It was an honour to be on board to make history.
On the second shelf, I put out all the cute stuff,
all the toys together and you can see,
more certificate Qantas, Project Sunrise,
British Airways Concorde and also a lots of
lots of cute toys from aviation.
And moving on, this shelf here is all the souvenirs
I bought during my trip overseas,
and also there are some gift by friends like
the rickshaw from Bangladesh,
a box of saffron from Iran here,
very, very precious.
And some more Iranian art
guess where'd this one come from?
You've probably guessed it right, from Turkey.
And also some wood carving
and this has come from West Africa, from Ghana.
So all over the world's treasure,
I bring them home and display here.
And here, we have even more aeroplane models.
Here are mainly special paint scheme.
If anyone will remember, this is the
Singapore Airlines mega top,
or you can call it a fruit salad,
the tropical 747 paint scheme.
And then of course we have the colourful ANA Flying Honu,
and then the Qantas 787, 100 year anniversary,
Thai Airways Royal Barge,
Etihad Manchester City Liberty.
So a lot more models
and then a lot of aviation book.
I hardly have any other book.
I have only aviation books here.
A lot and lots of very interesting book
coffee table book,
including my latest, which is the Air 747,
which this book now is available for sale.
It has really 22 unique chapters of 747 story.
All of them are my personal story
in the past 20 years.
I have flown 350, 747s.
From Private 747SP down to the latest 747-8,
and then anything in between as well.
So, this is a really good collectible book for Christmas.
I also published three more books in the past
their Air, Air 2 and Air 3.
I want to show you, especially the
regional airport was published in 2008.
The cover was shot from a helicopter.
I was one of the first person,
using helicopter to do a playing spotting
from the Air Alley Acts in the early 2000.
This will pretty much documented the aviation scenes
in early 2,000 and late 90s,
which you can see a lot,
the aeroplane has been retired
and doesn't exist anymore.
And lots of prototypes and lots
of yesteryear aviation.
And this book has been really sold out,
and thank you very much for all your support.
These two special painting are the memories
of me on board of last United 747 transpacific in 2017,
the crew has signed both border of the frame
and these are my childhood memories,
remember the 747 United coming in
doing the checkup or landing IGS approach runway 13.
And many people ask me,
what's my favourite liberty in my childhood.
And this United French tulip liberty
was my favourite, the tulip friendship.
So perhaps the biggest feature in my house,
is this aviation art wall.
In this wall here,
there's actually created by 36 unique
aeroplane painting by airline and arts, Jerome Gardener,
he's the artist.
The details are second to none.
Let me show you some of them.
One of my favourite here is this Cathay Pacific 747
is flying over the Hong Kong Victoria Harbour.
And you can see the Kai Tak, the old Kai Tak airport
runways down here.
And look at the details, it's just so fine.
Moving on here, we see Emirates triple seven,
departing over Dubai skyline.
So you can see the Burj Khalifa here
the tallest building in the world, beautiful painting.
And next we are flying over the Harbour of Sydney.
You can recognise the Opera House,
the Harbour Bridge and the Downtown Sydney,
beautiful painting V Australia triple seven.
Abu Dhabi is the next destination
with the Etihad 787-10 over Abu Dhabi skyline,
where I used to call home in Abu Dhabi
from 2011 to 2017.
And moving on to the next destination
is over to Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco,
and one of the last United Airlines departure,
Alex SFO with a skyline behind.
And in general, you can see a lots
of great painting over Antarctica,
over the New Zealand Alps
and over Hamidan.
So every painting here is great because it has
the characters, the landscape of that city
that tells you a story with the beautiful
aeroplane in the picture.
And I knew you were coming so I rolled out
a blue carpet to welcome you,
and guess where this blue carpet come from?
It come from an aeroplane of course.
And everything on letter here,
it's all cut out from the aeroplane carpets.
Well, actually I have a lot more stuff
inside my closet in the bedroom.
Some of the outstanding item is this one.
I always remember Turkish Airline,
the crew are so delightful.
They decorated and painted the pillow
on my flights in New York.
And look at this beautiful Istanbul skyline here,
they actually have the list
of all the crew on my flight.
So I will always remember them.
Talk about the pillow,
we have two from Hello Kitty EVA Air.
Actually, I have a full cloth set of
amenity kits here, they are all packed away.
And every time when I come back,
I don't use them, I take them off
the plane and I put them here.
So there's almost every airlines represented here.
And here I have probably 20 airline pyjamas.
They'd given out in first and business class.
So we have some playing cards,
some baseball caps, and you can see here,
lots of these, removed before flight,
all these little tacks.
So, and a lots of stickers as well.
So pretty much got everything here.
Perhaps you've seen enough of my collection by now,
but let's go outside of balcony
see some real aeroplanes , shall we?
Oh look, there's a very special aeroplane.
The first A330 Neo, 800 series of Kuwait.
I just love the view here. I can never get
sick of the view looking over the entire DXP.
And now I can see an A380 Star to push-back in taxi.
So you know what I'm doing?
Plane spotting from my own flat.
(upbeat music)
There is A380 about to takeoff.
I actually know a better place than this,
let me take you there to show you.
