Thanks Iggy and Mir for the coverage of Red Bull Air Race 2010. So many new aircrafts! Keep them coming!

Affiliated but totally professional. CAE Global recently contacted me for a photo of AK newest jet 9M-AHW to be used for their internal content development for AK MPL program. The thing here is ... they could have steal it and I wouldn't know OR ask from someone else and get it for free. At last, I got a CAE lanyard, a CAE pin, and a few CAE postcards arrived 3 days later all the way from Canada in first class mail! IMO, it's not the value of the things that count but the sincerity to actually send these stuff half way accross the globe. That's how a professional deals with other. Unlike AK, shame on you AirAsia ...

The same type came to KUL in 30 March 2007.

Nice catch Chaity! I was visiting Kwek's 'car parking' business when he told me the A345 training flight to KUL. Not enough time to catch her arrival back to SIN. I believe that's another one A345 training flight today (8th APR) as reported to me by someone living under the approach path.

Thank guys! Kwek ... how come I didn't see u there? Busy working kah? 2/4 : Second flight of Iran Air tourist charter operated by EP-IAH arrived on time as well today at 1247. Light was a little back-lit and intermittent. Bumped into Mark & Tim from HKG as well. Nice to meet you guys. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks Cornelis! I am more than happy to catch anything from Iran Air, but a B747SP is just awesome! As mentioned by Kwek, latest NOTAMs update shows that runway 02L/20R closure will be from 0100-0700LT on the 3 APR. RWY 02L/20R CLSD. FROM 04 021700 TO 04 022300

APRIL FOOL DAY !!!! Luckily for this time, Iran Air didn't play a fool on us. It was operating special tourist charter flights. The previous two was super delayed, I just gave up. This time not only it was on time, it was 5mins early! Totally awesome as this is my first B747SP. Thank for viewing.

Didn't you realize that all the Bravo series C172R Skyhawk are missing in Jandakot? hehe... They were shipped to Seletar via container and assembled and entered Singapore Register early this month.

Hahaha... you are the one Kamyar was talking about. I count on you guys to bring me some stunning photos from Red Bull Air Race 2010.

That's affirm. So that's rest day for most spotters as there's no established spotting location for 02C arrival in the afternoon. If you are lucky and wind favoring RWY 20. You may try Changi beach for 20C arrival in the afternoon.

Affirm. I wonder why... I can't resist sharing a few more shots from yesterday... cause light was so blatantly beautiful! New B77W for Qatar. Delivered on the 25 Feb 2010. Batavia recently up-size some of the flights to A320. Good load I guess. Believe it or not ... first time catching Emirates SkyCargo. Caught the two 'oranges' (OO-THA & OO-THB) all the time. Cargolux 'City of Walferdange' looks good too! Yankee India short final for 02L while another SQ B772 was at downwind. Even this 'smoker' looks clean 'Paul McGinness' approaching 02L as QF10 in warm glow of sunset. Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

Sorta special, SP Setia Sdn Bhd title added to FYD. Some extra revenue, perhaps? Look utterly familiar? This is ex-Neptune Air 9M-NEA. What happened to Neptune Air? Last heard, they operate a B732F and B727F. Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

Should have started long time ago lah ...

That would be Learjet 35A with wing-tip tanks. No photos of the overrun B727? What the different between C172R & C172S? Got G1000 cockpit?

On the 27th MAR morning a few single engine aircrafts will depart WSSL to WMSA in preparation for Aero Vs Auto Charity race on 28 MAR 2010 from WMSA back to WSSL. Aircrafts should be arriving around late morning and they will depart 0930 on the 28 MAR. http://wingsoverasia.com/article/52/charity-race-aero-vs-auto http://aerovsauto.com/

Here's some update from Seletar. The reason for me being there was to photograph all the ex Singapore Flying College Cessna 152 II. Acceptance flights piloted by a friend was carried out. All the six Cessna 152 II are sold to an Indonesian flying school and they will leave Singapore within this week. 9V-FCD wasn't flown due to some technical problems. Additional traffics caught during that period of time was more than welcome. A regular - Batam Logistic AN26 RP-C2639. Dedicate this to Pieter. Deraya Short 330-200. Seems to be a cargo from Indonesia. Odd looking aircraft! Berjaya 'Silver Fly' as Berjaya 338 from Redang Island. Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

Congrats!!!!!!!

Wow... More please.

OT Layang-layang island was originally an atoll, part of the Spratly islands claimed by China, Vietnam, Phillipnes etc etc. There was no landmass before M'sia gov practically built an aircraft-carrier like island to claim a stake of the atoll. It is located approx 300km north of KK. The only regular connection is by aircraft. (Shorts skyvan used to ply this route). Located on the island also is a world famous diving resort run by some well connected peoples. Also a important breeding ground for migratory birds. Divers/tourists usually buy a package from the resort that cost around RM2000 for 5D4N.

Very nice composite of the last shot, uncle Vu Loc !

I feel agitated every time I read/hear things like these. Enough said until investigation is done... Hope they get well soon.

As a Ipoh native myself, I am more than welcome the plan of Silverfly choosing IPH as its hub and the plan to fly IPH - XSP. I hope Silverfly aint talking ahead of themselves. Instead of talking about getting their own A320, CJ etc etc ... Some smaller turbo-prob like the ATR42, Dash 8-100/200 or EMB 120 would be more appropriate for now IMO. I am not expecting a lot, will definitely support it if it offers competitive pricing and reliable flight schedules.

Now MasWings fly Layang-layang island?!

11/03 Delivery flight of 9V-STJ as 'Singapore 330' from Toulouse. The 10th A330 for SQ and another 9 to go till end of this year. I just wish at least one will be in special color (i.e. Star Alliance) Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

Liam asked me to post the following informations so that anyone who haven't got 'Quiksilver jet' can still do so tomorrow.
