More from the 'rock'

Some shots from the famous 'rock' . The patrols do come by to 'chase' spotters away. Have to be careful as they can be quite intimidating. Best to follow instruction and quickly leave the 'rock' as they have the tendency to 'push' you to move faster.

Greenliner 2nd visit to KUL over last Sunday

Last Thursday, 23 Jan, captures.

Latest special livery for AK. I love Kelantan Three liveries of D7. Do we call them Retro, Classic, New liveries? Good night

Ex Malaysia Airlines B777, 9M-MRP, was in Zimbabwe Airways livery in 2017. However, the triple is now painted in all-white, with registration Z-RGM. She went for a test flight on 16/Jan for about an hour. Probably going to be delivered soon to Harare after the much hype scandal in 2017. It is sad that the livery is gone for good. In her former livery, back in 2017.

Some captures over Saturday. Beautiful weather.

Weather has been generally kind yesterday. Surprised Garuda sent a 332 over. If the Royal Barge came, it would have been great. Better photographed SilkAir's fleet as the airline will be absorbed into SIA this year. Do be mindful of big monitor lizards around the lake area

It is not really accessible to the public. Need to walk about 2km through the muddy plantation and thick vegetation.

Off to a new thread for 2020. Short spotting session today. Hope more can contribute here. Cheers and Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2020. A short spotting session at KUL today. I had always wanted to explore this area, Kampung Baharu Labu Lanjut, where departing planes would 'bank' a little. A little back from the morning spotting Pond and the U-Turn road. Here are the results. It may not bank like those planes in Heathrow, but it's another perspective. Narrow bodies may need about 300-400mm (crop sensor), depending on their height. As for widebodies, about 200mm.

A beautiful day on the last spotting session for 2019 and for the decade.

A beautiful day on the last spotting session for 2019 and for the decade. Some 787 specials. Hope this wire and CDs are removed in 2020

Just came back from HKT. Spotting on the beach at the beginning of Rwy 09 is OK. Airport security do patrol from time to time but doesn't 'chase' people away, except for those who climbs up towards the airport perimeter fence. Here are some pictures. Airport Security will not be pleased if someone climbs up to the barb wires at the airport perimeter fence.

Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, arrived in his B748 Presidential Jet yesterday at 1315 to attend the KL Summit hosted by our PM. At this summit, invited Heads of State intends to discuss and address issues of concern in the Muslim community around the world. Heavily photoshoped to remove the obstructing pole

Surprised to see her diverted to SZB in FR24 around 1725. Probably due weather and wants to save some fuel while landed. She was coming in from KCH as AK5209. Rushed to the airport and managed to photographed just in time for her departure at 1845.

After departed from Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport (XFW) and a tech stop at Ashgabat Int Airport (ASB), she landed at 1311 local time. As an aviation tradition of welcoming a new aircraft type for AirAsia fleet, the A321neo is greeted with a welcome water canon salute at Bay K22R. She wears a special livery 3, 2, 1, take off.

Good one Flee. I was positioned at the Anjung Spotter area to get her first landing on Malaysia soil (runway) It is kind of difficult now to spot at Anjung Spotter as the reflective 'CDs' and wires are visible in the picture frame. Even moving nearer to the fence with a ladder, the wire is visible for wide body aircraft. Thankfully, for narrow body, such as the A321neo, it can be 'cropped' away.

No guessing from the rego, VT-INR, who was the previous owner. Surprised to see her earlier today, going for a 2-hour+ test flight.

Surprise visitor over the weekend. RAF KC-2 Voyager, ZZ338, made a stopover in KUL from XSP.

Unique traffic over last weekend. JASDF Kawasaki C-2 transport returning to base after spending a night in KUL Thai Airways' Royal Barge Suphannahong has been a regular visitor here since she was painted into this special livery.

Had a surprised visitor on 5/10. Japan Air Self Defense Force, Kawasaki C-2 transport made a stop-over at KUL to the delight of local spotters here. Pardon the backlit photo. Many of us anticipated her to land at 14L. Upon knowing she was routed to 14R, it was too late to switch spot. Have to make do with what we have.
