Asian Aerospace Expo 2006

[Asian Aerospace Expo 2006]

The organizer put her on the last to appear during the aero display, knowing all of us are only waiting for her. and when everyone turn their head one end and scream like maniac, we know she is here:

 

 

I could have kiss the pilots!!! they choosed to initiate gear up sequence in front of the audience:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, gears are up, lets Rock and Roll!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one feels like an air-to-air shot

 

 

End of the show, lets put the gear down and head home...

 

I would like to thank Yong and Ken for the company that day. Lets do this again in 2008

 

After the aerodisplay we head in to the hall again. Big mistake, the airbus area was so pack it is impossible to move...

[KLIA Spotting on 11 Feb 2006]

Since there are so many plane shots already, maybe I should focus on some human side of spotting:

 

Gavin illustrating the point of which a call coming in at abso-f***ing-lutely wrong time:

 

Norman, I have this gut feeling that you will not have the D70s for long...

 

Emporer: Azahan, I think there is a dust spot on my lens, can you macro in from your bigma?

 

 

Ok, time to update the AA2006 thread

[Monument 727 in KLIA]

Hi Guys,

 

While spotting in Changi with Yong after visiting AA2006, we met a bunch of spotters from US (based in thailand apparently) and they asked if we know the reg for the blue 727 near the cargo complex in KLIA.

 

can anyone help?

 

thanks

Thanks Pieter for the nice set of 18 wheelrs... That 747 does not look fully loaded... or is my eyes not seeing any deformation on the tyres like what we see on cars

[Crosswind Certification Test Video]

Wow.. the last video is like 45 degrees off center line... From the rate of deceleration it looks like it is also on full brake and reverse... and I can imagine the pilot yank the plane hard to the centerline at the final moment

We should write that "they should build a dedicated spotter only building at approved (by MW.com) location."
