These pictures were shot on the same day as Tiger Airways' inaugural flight to WBKK on 1st March 2009. Happy viewing. LeeJH

Sam Last Sunday there was some excavating work going on right across the road near the entrance of the main road leading to Jalan Selangor. Most probably they were laying underground pipes. I expect it to be finished before this coming Sunday. Watch out for Jet Star & Tiger Airways arrivals. See you there. LeeJH

BC Tham I understand there is another way to get to the 3rd beach, though I have yet to use it. From the road leading to T2, there is a side road in front of the dewan ( hall ) near the rugby field. It cuts through the government housing exiting to Jalan Selangor. It's worth a try. LeeJH

continuing..... Passengers disembark to a warm welcome of colourful troupe of traditonal warriors and officials. After unloading and loading, it was time for its return trip. Taxiing to Rwy 02 Taking off from Rwy 02 That's all for now. I will endeavour another attempt this coming Sunday from another angle, that is, along Jalan Selangor before turning into the 3rd beach with the new terminal building as its backdrop. Until then I hope all MW members do enjoy from our WBKK spotters' contributions.

continuing...... Water-cannon truck standing by after a brief trial exercise. The first burst of showering. Increasing its intensity. to be continued.....

These sequential photos were shot directly opposite Terminal 2 during Tiger Airways' inaugural flight to KKIA. I was positioned too far from the touchdown spot so I waited it to taxi nearer for a decent shot. Taxing past Layang-Layang Aerospace hangar. Turning into Terminal 2 Asymmetrically positioned. Water-cannon truck eagerly awaiting TR's entry. to be continued....

A short morning spotting session yesterday. BI A320. The new Control Tower at Jalan Bunga Raya. The old and new T1 buildings. Which one of the following is the fastest? A bird? A car? or A plane? Whatever happens to her nose? Taxiing to T1. Taxiing to rwy 20 which was active for today's take-offs and landings. to be continued...

here is she, B-KGV edit: wonder why she activate the reverse-thrust even when she is taxiing. her style? and she is back-tracking for rwy20 departure after come out from T2 nice winglet special rim btw, something unusual for today, almost whole day also rwy20 active. anyone got the NOTAM? she again. when having lunch with Kenenth, and later join by Waiping and his wife (ya, nice to meet you), i got this few shots. for Pieter, Sneeze and Ewan. for this office user. Sam As always. you have these beautiful shots, so clean and SHARP!!!. Hope to catch Indonesia AirAsia one day. Thanks for sharing. LeeJH

Uncle Pieter C Thank you for the clarification on Fokker F28. Definitely some of these aircraft need some make-over. Hopefully in times to come, we may be able to find new spotting areas to replace those removed. Will keep members posted on this. LeeJH Kianhong, Yes, that's the one. Bought it online from www.shashinki.com. So far I am not able to get any sharp image. Is that what you mean by "appear soft "? Will keep on experimenting till it burns out..hahahahaha. Thanks for the tips. LeeJH

Ian Lim Just love those close-up shots. I hope to do that \"style\" in the near future. I appreciate the \"reference\" offered. Ignatius, Thanks for sharing. So far I have never seen a Heliconia at WBKK. Hope to nail it one day. With your picture postings ( and also from other spotters from all over ), I hope to learn some photo techniques. Thank you. LeeJH

Sam Yes, I got my new Canon lens 70-300mm last Monday and tried it out the next day. Till now I am still trying to get the feel of it. Will try some close-up shots for future assignments. As Ignatius mentioned earlier, this extra 100mm makes not much difference. Moer, Not "hardcore". Just practicing. I may have the QUANTITY but definitely not the QUALITY. Sam,Ignatius, BC Tam, Desmond C Appreciate your kind comments. Hope to produce better results as I go along. LeeJH

Sam It's alright. Hope to meet up Khaled and Ewan some other time. Still trying to figure out my toy through experimenting on all types of settings, especially on aperture and shutter priorities. And thanks for the useful tips. LeeJH Uncle Pieter C Yes, it was quite a number on that morning but was spotting too far away at Jalan Bunga Raya where the new control tower was located. Hopefully I am able to get better close-up shots when I go to the spotting area directly opposite T2 which is in front of Airport View Hotel. From where these bizzers come from, I am clueless. Maybe some other spotters are able to shed some light on it. Appreciate your naming some aircraft types. LeeJH

Ignatius Unfortunately it is too heavy for my wallet...Lack of vitamin $$$. Too bad this teleconverter will not fit to the new lens. Just have to make do with whatever I have and improve on the techniques, of which I need guidance from all you "sifus". This morning I went spotting with Sam and Meor both of whom I met for the first time. All pics are on airplanes' rotation and climb. ...to be continued.....
