Jetstar latest special - 'Quiksilver Jet' VH-VGZ as 3K516 from BKK. Now everyone can surf !
It will be operating the same flight tomorrow according to Liam. Thanks mate!

747 nose gear wheel well looks some empty and huge !
Yeah ... almost as big as a store room where u can put a single mattress inside. Very empty at forward compartment as u can see.
Is that a Cessna behind the Skyvan?
Wow... engine run-up with aircraft behind...
BTW.. Chaity.. enough space for stow-away to hitch a ride in the gear bay...
The C150 (9M-JFA) was actually on the port side of the Skyvan. Look a bit close prolly due to the wide-angle effect.
DCA's Learjet 60 9M-FCL 'Calibrator II' and Police Air Wing Cessna C208 Caravan 9M-PSM were there as well. Departed before i can get a decent shot of them.

Went to WMKJ again yesterday morning to do some flying over there. Here's some interesting stuff I caught. Enjoy!
I like this perspective of the B747. Not very often one get to see the huge nose gear wheel well.
Nice to see this civil Herc - Lyden Air Cargo N406LC.
Someone up there was asking ... what aircraft is stored inside the Sultan of Johor royal hangar? Here it is - 9M-IJS Gulfstream G-IV. There's also a very interesting military-colored Lake Buccaneer inside the hangar.
This cutie will be flying back to Europe within this week. Though it's in Aero Lanka color, it never go into service with Aero Lanka because they didn't pay up according to the pilot. Seen here doing engine run after sitting here for 3 years!
Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

Woooooo ...
Very nice sunset shots, Vu Loc! 
Is that D7 Oakland Raiders in the last pic?
-
Woah Woah... where is this vantage spot?? Must go there catch it before its too late!
It's already too late. At the time I took these photos, an excavator was pushing down trees and flatten the surrounding areas. I think after this weekend, the place will be closed off for construction of the new hangar.

Fantastic stuff, Kian! I look forward to seeing her arrive from Bali tonight while i'm at work. Out of interest, what was the rego of the JSA bird behind her in your first pic? Thanks mate! Shame your vantage spot will disappear, I love visiting Seletar as every visit you get a new surprise
Thanks. The JSA bird is 9V-JSB.
BTW, VH-VGZ got a new 'Quiksilver' decal! Let me know if it come to SIN!

Was informed by someone from Perth regarding the delivery flight of Skywest latest Fokker 50 PH-KXH c/n 20249. The aircraft is ex KLM Cityhopper and will be re-registered to VH-FSL once she arrive in PER. Aircraft departed on the dot at 0930 to PER via DPS.
Backtracking runway for 03 departure.
Rolling runway 03.
Rotate!
Bye bye! See you again soon.
This will prolly be my last update from WSSL as the vantage point overlooking the runway is being bulldozed to make way for new hangar as we speak.
I vacated the area immediately after the aircraft departed.
Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

After the long CNY break ... First time spotting in the year of roaring tiger!
It was runway 20R from 1500 onwards till 1820.
Clare Valley VH-EBN (c/n 1094) as QF6020 from TLS on delivery back to SYD.
Bangkok Airways baby bus (HS-PGT) from Koh Samui. I suspect that this is an extra flght.
GLEX VP-BJI from Jakarta Halim. The logo look the same as one found on a Gulfstream G550 (VH-BIP).
Look out for Tiger's new A320 9V-TAN too which was delivered on 20-02-2010.
Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

Wahhh ... power power ... enjoyinh cold beer with a view!

Indeed a worrying news. The following article probably give a better picture on what actually happened from a spotter's perspective.
FYI, beside radio scanner, they used AirNav Radarbox which in some country is illegal to operate.

What a beauty!!! Thanks for sharing Greg!
-
Wah ... very nice An-12 !!! Love the red cheatline!

Good detour !!!
A.net quality: did you send in ?
Thanks ... in queue to be screened now.
Nice shots there Kian Hong.
Were the 727's still around?
Was looking for the B727s ... but didn't see them around. <_>
-
Nice one ... Charles ... especially the TAMS B77W and AA wingletted B763.
I know u got more. Hehehe ... post more!
-
Thanks Kwek for the group photo! Nice! I looked very tan from the sun burnt.
BTW, do you know where that SQ A345 was heading? Looks like SQ is slowly restoring its A345 all-biz class services...
That would be SQ38 to LAX at 1615 ETD. As for now, only SQ22 to EWR is daily and SQ38 to LAX still 5x weekly.

Wah ... very good spot hah...
Good catch of the latest SQA330.

More random photos to share from last trade day of SA2010. Enjoy!
Combine aerial display from RSAF F-16 & AH-64D Apache Longbow.
USAF A-10 Thunderbolt
RSAF AH-64D Apache Longbow
Alenia Aermacchi M-346
Pilatus PC-21. Same model used by RSAF for basic training at Pearce Air Base, Western Australia.
No stolen engine here.
You know you are not flying a proper airline when u have to do ur 'business' here.
Learjet 60XR cockpit. Very similar layout in terms of switches and major system compared LR45. Of course with more advanced avionics.
Cabin of Global Express XRS. I still like my G550 anytime!
Even Garuda equipped their aircraft with AVOD IFE on every seat. MH better wake up! And it's touch screen!
As the last trade day draw to an end, dark cloud moved in and framed the Dassault Falcon 7X nicely.
Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

Your A330 taken from Changi Village in the afternoon?
From Changi Business Park ... 02L landing.
I am waiting for others to post more photos from today.
-
SQ welcome its 9th A330 (9V-STI) to the fleet.
Operated as SQ330 from Toulouse. 
Thanks for viewing. Cheers.
-
Nice one Greg! Love the inflight photos.
Saw the same aircraft (all white then) landed in Changi during a TS.

Got a bit bore with the SA 2010. So off I went following a friend 'jalan-jalan' in WMKJ and managed a circuit too before set course back to WSSL.
Extremely happy to catch not one but two B747-146SRs (5U-ACG & 5U-ACF). Both are registered in Niger.
Found this cute little Aero Lanka Shorts Skyvan sitting at one corner.
Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

Nice to meet everyone yesterday! Here's more random photos from the air show.
Over view of the static display from Hawker Pacific chalet.

Korean T-50.

Here's rather random shots from SA 2010 since a lot have been posted by HJ, TT and KC.
This is to Gav. Cockpit of the A330-200F (F-WWYE). Exactly same as the pax version except some extra switches to control temperature of the upper and lower cargo deck. According to the Airbus reps who gave us the priavte tour, she was flown to Canada on the 23rd Jan for cold-soak test and then back to Toulouse before coming to SA2010.
Again highlght of the aerial display. RAAF F-111 'dump n burn'.
The customary seat-pitch photo onboard the G550. That's urs truly legs.
Awesome experiance looking out of those huge windows!
USAF KC-135.
Iggy: B52 fly pass is going to be on the 6th FEB. First public day.
Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

This OZ Jetstar isn't SIN based as she is now operating the PER-SIN-PEN-SIN-BKK-SIN-PER pattern for a minimum of 2 days according to Liam. I first saw it on A.net and ask Liam to give me head ups if she ever heading this way.
