B-LJA, Cathay Pacific Cargo first Boeing 748F, was an aircraft that I had yearned to catch since the day she came out fresh from the Boeing Factory in Everett 6 years ago painted with the "Hong Kong Trader" special scheme to commemorate thirty years of Cathay Pacific Cargo operations in which I instantly fell in love with the livery as it just looked magnificent on the Boeing 748F. I was on the verge of giving up on chasing her down after losing an opportunity to capture her in Hong Kong in 2016, but who knows, lady luck was with me during my trip to Taiwan in 2017 and on 21 December, she decide to surprise me by operating as Cx 5 from Tokyo (NRT) to Hong Kong via Taipei instead of the Boeing 744F which usually operated that route, allowing me to capture her and ending my 6 years chase after her.
