but he was pointing at the conveyor belt, i dont get it. there are 2 counters, just put a sign with respective gender will do. but what's with the conveyor belt punya pasal?

erm... male and female? how?

Is it my eyes or it is actually skidding while making the turn to line up for take off?

2 more MAS 738 here: http://www.airliners.net/photo//2495595/L/

Tracking the railroad on Google Maps, most of the track is covered by jungle and I can barely recognize the trace of previous track.

Not sure if it is stand A51, but it is parked opposite gate A4.

I am sure the organizing committee has checked and rechecked for any clashes in culture when they plan for the event. And all the respected sources has confirmed that it is of no issues.

Very brilliant idea.

Airbus have the same thing on the door, at least for Air Asia that is... I always checked the information as I board the plane. Ben-G

Could it be first time a Mig and F-22 is captured in the same frame? or even flying together?

saw the pics.... this is gonna be painful whoever footing the bill...

MAHB tried to defend the problem saying only 1% of the pavement cracks. The problem is the 1% is all that is being used by an aircraft in airport, especially when over 80% of the load are from A320, the tarmac usage is typically the same area day-in day-out!!!

the staff in the 2nd tower near LCCT must be feeling lost now... used to be abuzz with activities...

nope, smooth driving all the way. but do look out for the shuttle bus travelling between KLIA2 and LCCT, the extended jalan pekeliling is quite narrow and the bus is travelling at high speed.

Just went driving around LCCT and then runway 33. Workers are on hand to dismantles various shops and F&B outlets there and also the old LCCT food court. I hope security are tight so that no unauthorized personnel one can sneak on to the ramp and roam free. Didn't know they rerouted the Jalan Pekeliling to Runway 3 and then onwards to KLIA2. From spotting point of view its going to be a real consideration of give and take; you want A320 and all their special liveries, runway 33 it is. if international airline and other type of planes is the main target, 32L. hmm... decision decision... or spent thousands on super zoom lens to take runway 33 landing from 32L.

if landing on 15 meaning the possible spotting location will be Jalan Subang Perdana.

I believe they will station at the usual spotting location at SZB... meaning you will see them around the shop area... it is going to land 15 or 33?

so.... are we gonna try to take pic of the POTUS plane this weekend?

If it is indeed true that military knows something, not telling the SAR and wasting everyone's time, then we can forget whatever foreign ties with other countries already. it is tantamount to telling a lie on international level, people will not trust you anymore.

regarding the possibilities of turning back and ended up in the vicinity of Straits of Melacca, Even if the aircraft is not squawking, what is the chance of aircraft that size crossing the peninsular without being detected at all?

The passport could have been stolen and forged/altered with the imposter's photo?

This is from Taiwan news website: http://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20140308003502-260401 另外，美國駐華大使館稱，淩晨2點43分美軍駐紮在泰國烏塔堡軍事基地曾監聽到一段馬來西亞航空公司MH370航班緊急呼叫的SOS信號，客機駕駛員呼叫稱機艙面臨解體，他們要迫降。目前駐泰美軍已向馬來西亞方面提供這段信號。 Summary: US Embassy in China claimed that a Thailand US army base intercepted an SOS call at 0243am, the crew requested for emergency landing as they were encountering disintegration of fuselage. The US army personnel has handed over the call to Malaysia authorities.

The authorities are finding it hard to adjust to these new trend of photos going to social media and they have to address it. not like last time (before the age of facebook and all), they just build what they like, to the standard they "feel" safe, and handover to public use. the cronies will be able to collect payment and whatever maintenance can wait until cow comes home. nowadays, little little defect is being shared all over cyberspace and they need stop-gap measure.

Looking at WT's photo of A350 reminded me of the A380 shot at similar location/angle during the SA2008 show. They were towing the plane for aero display, we jumped over the fence, lie down on our tummy and started snapping like mad. I think the security just looked at us, shook his head and left us alone while making sure no other maniac do the same thing.

talking about maintenance for KUL, anyone feels that the MTB is getting darker and darker at night by the year? Did they change to a lower watt bulb?
