  1. Any chance of doing a circuit like Romeo Delta when it did its first test flight after re-paint?
  2. Is that a golf course on the left?
  3. I think it is a different plane, as the one I saw was on 5th August and the PVG incident happened on 9th Aug...
  4. Hi, Not sure if there is any incident but just wanted to share what I saw... I stay in Putra Heights, which is under the flight path of 14L landing during this time of the year. On 5th August (Sun) evening around 6pm, I was walking my dog while spotting the incoming aircraft. Amongst the line-up I noticed a B772 coming in very slow, and with its gear all down. As far as I know Putra Height is way before the gear down point. I estimate the plane's coordinate at 2°59'24.19"N 101°34'22.30"E that time. At first I thought that could be a foreign airline with crew first time flying into KUL. However upon closer inspection, I realized it is a MH plane. It was flying at such low speed that I thought the AK following behind might need a go around... Not sure if anyone hear about this, could it be a case of technical issue? Thanks Ben-G
  5. Is the 787 at the same spot as A380 back in 2008?
  6. Yong and I are going on the 17th (Fri) trade day. normal agenda is to reach there 9am sharp, take all the pic for static display before the sun become too hot and before all the crowd comes in. after that back to the halls for aircond. Not sure will wait for the aerial display or not, we skipped all together last round, too routine.
  7. didn't we have that when AK was operating from MTB?
  8. Speaking of lawn mower service, we really need one for the road leading to riverside spot. the current road... well, if you can call it a road... will definitely leave marking on car paint once you choose to access the spot by car. here is a photo taken yesterday, on the way out. this is already the part there the "road" condition is much better.
  9. no wonder I thought it looks like the color scheme's of Trump's new 757... what is it doing in SG anyway?
  10. For my yearly birthday spotting ritual, I chose to do it in Singapore this year instead of KLIA. It is my first experience spotting in SG alone, outside of the comfort of the terminal's air-condition and shade. 20R was in use but not sure how to go about to Changi beach park. I head to Pasir Ris MRT but couldn't find the stop for bus 89 in the bus interchange (didn't know it is at the outer road) so I took a cab, SGD 7.20 and I got off at CP5 (car park 5 I presume). working in IT industry, I call this the SQL database T7 caught this but missed the T7 brother later as I was in the gents... damn sometime later, the stream of plan stopped suddenly and 6 of this came in, mix of single and double seat version: considering the thrust to weight ratio, the engines are darn loud!!! I made my way towards CP4 as I see some nice tree for shade... Sun, sea, sand, breeze, tree, shade, bench... what more I can ask for a perfect spotting session? what's that at the tip of the wings? mega ark, first time I catch her in person wow, whose 727 is this? this we dun have in KL I think... from T1 viewing mall, butt shot of Jetstar A320 halfway through the session I got a sad news via facebook that my friend/ex-colleague/mentor has passed away that same morning. May he rest in peace, I wish to dedicate these photos to him... Ben-G
  11. I will probably hit the river side at 8am.. plan to stay till 11am. Ben
  12. one thing about staying in putra heights is if 14L is in use, we will know as the plane will pass by overhead in the area. hopefully I will be awaken by the noise of jet engines on this Saturday. Ben-G
  13. wow, clear pics and looks like the road leading to weather station is left untouch... any chance to reopen that to public on future? also, the project looks very far from completion... Ben
  14. Wow, VHHH is already looking at expansion plan for 2030 and after, check it out at: http://www.hkairport2030.com/tc/ also youtube video at (in Cantonese): do we have similar thing for KLIA? Ben
  15. Not sure if anyone posted this, but its truly a very good video: Now... how can I apply for ground crew job? Ben-G
  16. Looks like the new LCCT terminal is far from completion... doesn't even look like its 10% done... but just look at the size if the site, practically another KLIA being built there.. Ben-G
  17. I drove through weather station on Sunday (20th Dec) and sad to say very soon we will not be able to go there anymore. heavy machinery has been moved in just at the corner that lead to the weather station near starting point of 32R and looks like the site is as long as the whole runway itself. driving on that road on rainy day is very dangerous as the road is full of mud and very slippery, not a good place to be especially the LCCT bus are traveling at high speed at you. time to get a portable bicycle, park our car at the petronas and cycle up to OH. Ben-G
  18. More like 4 paws on the grass and having the wing tip travelling over my head. speechless experience. Ben-G

  21. I believe you can download the video file (.flv) using the following webiste: www.youtubex.com However, you will need a flv file player to play the file as the video is not in avi or wmv format Ben-G
  22. My contractor will kill me if I ask him to draw "36"... anyway I am not painting the whole runway, jsut the threshold/piano key till the touchdown zone part. Not enough room for the whole s tretch la... Drainage groove got.. but 1/2 feet apart. again, practicality issue Ben-G
  23. Hi guys, okay, this might sound hilarious... I am doing my house renovation and was having headache how to re-do the carporch as the interlocking tiles are sinking. and then I was struck with an idea: Cement the porch and draw a runway on it. my problem now is that according to google earth my house is facing dead north. so I need to decide if the numbering scheme should be '00' or '0'? any idea? thanks Ben-G
  24. Hi, I was on MH376 to China last sunday (depart around 10am, delayed..). During initial climb I saw a figure with bright orange T on the obs hill, looks like hes with an unbrella. Jonathan, was that you? Ben-G
