MWings 9th Anniversary started off in the morning by the lake side since Rwy 14 in use for past weeks.
Weather was a bit gloomy and hazy but the company of MWings members up lifted our spirits
3 spotters from Vietnam like to venture into the tropical bushes for unique shots
Since we have 3 active runways, Rwy 14L arrival is much less comparing to last time. Our friends is making use of the quiet time to shoot other things
Keith & Ong were busy taking selfie
Ah Ong, do share with us the 3D photos you are taking
Traffic at Rwy 14L was really slow and we dicided to go for early lunch
To be continued .....

Victor, you should come back KUL often to attract all the specials for us.
Caught this Panda also on Sunday coming back from HKG-PEN-KUL
Wonder how much MASkargo paid for the right to use the panda photo ?

Thanks Flee.
We were in the right place and at the right time during her arrival.
Next, will wish for their A330 & B767 in full livery.

MWings was invited to attend and extended a copy of their press release plus photos below from their PR company.
For those attended the event, can post your photos here.
-----------------------------
The Malaysian Flying Academy (MFA) is preparing for an increase in demand for pilots in view of an expected upturn in the aviation industry by increasing its investment in new equipment, training facilities and capabilities.
Established in 1983, the pioneer in professional flight training sees a demand for some 26,000 pilots in Asia alone over the next decade where new airlines are proliferating and existing ones are expanding their fleets.
“Airlines are already preparing for the next upswing in the industry which is already showing clear signs of recovery, especially with demand for aircraft by new and low-cost airlines,” said MFA Principal, Captain Stephen Michael Terry.
“We’re seeing encouraging load factors in the low-cost carriers and their success is going to contribute to the demand for more flight crews,” said Terry at a media briefing in Kuala Lumpur today.
MFA has planned a capital expenditure of some RM15 million in new training aircraft, flight simulators and facilities, as well as the possibility of offering jet training.
The Malacca based academy currently has 21 instructors, which meets the Department of Civil Aviation’s recommended ratio of one instructor for every six cadets and intends to enhance that to one instructor for every four cadets.
It is also planning to transform its current status as an Approved Flight Training Organisation (AFTO) to a Type Rating Training Organisation (TRTO) that will allow cadets to be operationally ready when they graduate as they will not require any additional training on commercial jets.
Terry also said it is time more young women to consider becoming pilots as the job responsibilities on an aircraft are not defined by gender.
“Many young girls are not aware that it is a career option for them and we want to change that perception and help them with the many opportunities in the industry,” added Stephen.
Over the past three decades, MFA has successfully trained and continues to train cadet pilots for major airlines such as Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, Singapore Airlines, Silk Air, Jetstar Airways and Air Mauritius, as well as air regiments from Polis DiRaja Malaysia.
MFA cadet pilot alumni have come from as far afield as Australia, Portugal, France, Hungary, Maldives, Mauritius, Myanmar, Iraq, Iran, Libya, United Arab Emirates, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Finland, Japan, Oman, Yemen, Singapore and Malaysia.
The cadets graduate with a Commercial Pilot License with Instrument Rating (CPL/IR) , which is designed to train a person to become a full-fledged pilot with commercial airlines.

Many thanks to Flee for sharing those A350 photos. I guess A350 took the limelight for first 2 days.

Chaity - The brakes on NE (if my eyes are correct) are dirtier than those on ND!
Hi Sandeep, the brake could be dirtier but the more obvious is the painted inner cowlings of ND as pointed by Flee.

I guess 32R spotting will be less active in 2014 with 32L spotting locations accessible now.
Just to post some of my catches in previous weeks.
Qatari A7-BAB "Two" World caught on a hazy morning
Stopped by the road side just to catch my first sighting of Thai Lion HS-LTI
Got a little bonus for myself to catch BG 77W for the first time.
Do add more photos for 32R.

Thanks Flee !
Like Norman said, enjoy our 32L spotting while it last.
KUL spotting can't get away with the "local" as below
9M-MPS
Spot the difference between MND & MNE. Many thanks to the friend for pointing it out to me.

Hi Zarif,nice effect and the planes look like diecast models.

Hi Flee, your got Capt Park in good light !
Hi Suzuki san, good to see you again in MWings. KUL is awaiting your visit this year.

KUL 32L in 2014
in Observation Hill
Posted · Edited by Chaity · Report reply
22 Nov 2014 was a busy day for spotters in KUL. Quite a number of spotters from Japan & Hong Kong were here.
Good morning sun to welcome part of the spotters in this photo.
The main target for most of the spotters was IR 747SP but 747-200 turned up.
Perhaps the last flying 747SP is busy preparing for the final special flight in Teheran on 23 Nov 2014.
We still enjoyed the company and 32L departure added some fun too.
I am sure most of the spotters wanted to swap the place with the guy in the photo
Other spotters do add more photos here as our forum is getting very slow nowadays.
