    The day started out with some nice sunshine in the morning, then fair weather cumulus & high cirrus in the afternoon. Down to some TCU & CB in the late afternoon and it looked like its gonna pour anytime soon. But the weather managed to hold up with some sunshine in between until sunset. A fruitful day in NOV! :D Btw, I was spotting with bro Nguyen - our one and only 'Vietnamese' hail from Sarawak. :p

     

    Thanks for viewing. Cheers. :)

    To spoil everyone's fun. AF1 usually only land at Payar Lebar and there's no establish spotting location around Payar Lebar. Even if there are people spotting at Payar Lebar, the results usually only reserved for private eyes as local spotters deem it to be too risky to put them on public domain.

     

    As much as I like to see AF1, I definitely don't wanna get into trouble with local enforcement agency considered how paranoid they are on normal days, let alone on the day AF1 arrive. I'll stick to WSSS. :pardon:

    I balik kampung (Pieter: going back to hometown) over the weekend. Went to spotting at WMKI for the first time to catch the only scheduled flight into Ipoh. Aircraft arrived earlier than schedule thus no landing shots and it departed on time too. I guess I shouldn't worry too much about my flight back to SIN city tomorrow. B)

     

    Waiting for pax to board.

    WMKI airport terminal overview with limestone hills and main range in the background. This airport has some pretty interesting instrument approaches because of its location in Kinta Valley.

    Some movements caught in YBBN.

     

    Promoting the last grand prix of the season - 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

    A6-EYI_YBBN_241009.jpg

    Dornier 228 - first time seeing this odd looking aircraft.

    VH-VJD_YBBN_161009.jpg

     

    Overview of the YBBN - domestic terminal is bigger than international terminal. International terminal is at the southern end and GA apron is at the northern end. Main runway is rwy 01-19 and a shorter runway 14-32 is near the GA apron.

    Nice pic there ! :yahoo:

     

    btw..i'm in YBBN now...any tips on spotting here??

     

    There's one parking area near the perimeter fence of GA apron where one can get some approach and touch down shot on rwy 19. Only good in the afternoon. Heat haze can be a problem.

    A bizjet for RFDS from Rio Tinto (Australia Mining Giant) is to be expected. It was supposed to be a Learjet 45 according to a news release early this year. But not sure why it's changed to a Hawker 800XP.

     

    Good catch man. :yahoo: And very fast uploaded to A.net already!! Less than 6 hours turn. :blink:

     

    Iggy. How long will you be in Perth?

    Always happy to see my fav bizjet - G550 around. (B-KCK) :yahoo:

    Saab 340B - a rather popular type among OZ regional airlines and cargo operator.

    VH-KDB_YBBN_081009.jpg

     

    Another popular type for the smaller operators - Fairchild Metro. This type has some rather infamous nickname like Meatray, Death Tube, Flyin' Cigar, Stick Creature, Death pencil, lawn dart, fright tube etc etc :pardon:

    Hey KH. I think that's the main display. The rehearsal was on friday and the actual display was on saturday afternoon.

     

    Ha ... I have no ideas. :pardon: Flew to Townsville again on 29 Sept. While T-birds and KC-10 tanker were gone, the two C17s were still there.

     

    Sharing something closer to home. Introducing the 'Missionator'!!! :p Not the most pretty aircraft of the lot, but i think the decal is pretty cool. Thanks Liam for the info and the kind people of Aeromil Pacific. :drinks:

    This Beech 1900D demonstrator is on tour in Australia as part of a world-wide tour. The arrival of 'Missionator' is also coincide with the Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA)convention being held at Hyatt Regency Coolum, Sunshine Coast.

     

    And here's some side catches.

     

    One pretty mean looking and fast aircraft - Cessna Citation X (VH_XCJ). B)

    And attendees of the convention were entertained with the low pass of a P-51 Mustang and Fokker 100. But unfortunately sun already set at the time of the low fly-pass.
