Welcome to MalaysianWings, SSLee. Good catch..if I'm not mistaken the Global 6000 arrived from Subang and left Penang in the evening of the same day.

Fantastic night shots, T Azahan! I saw a BBJ parked on A51(opposite A2) last Saturday night, didn't manage to identify clearly but looked like VP-BEL... was the BBJ there when you did the nightshot? King of Swaziland arrived KUL today in a MD-87 (3DC-SWZ). It is rumoured the MD-87 will leave KUL for LGK either tomorrow evening or this Thursday.

No wonder there have been some RB A320 flights to KBR for the past few months.. Yesterday the Sultan's brother flew in 9M-MXA (MH8701) from BWN to KBR http://www.rtbnews.rtb.gov.bn/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11714:departing-for-kelantan&catid=34:local&Itemid=66

Interesting movements..Awesome shots, Mdsaleh

A few weeks ago 9M-MXB's radome was replaced with an old livery radome. Rumoured it is due to a bat strike in Colombo.

USS Blue Ridge is currently in Port Klang. It carries two nice Warlords helicopters onboard, SH-60F (164446 & 164081). Would be nice if the helicopter visits Subang before the ship leaves.

This same C-40B comes to Subang every year after the Shangri-La Dialogue. http://www.flickr.com/photos/us-pacific-command/8952104148/in/photostream/ Apart from that,aircraft carrier USS Nimitz travelled from West Pacific and passed through Straits of Melaka last week but I'm surprised there are still no Greyhounds making COD flights to SZB or BKI this year.

I guess only Melinda Gates is in town. Bill Gates made a day trip to Australia on 28/05 in the other GLEX (N194WM).

There was an Umrah charter flight Penang-Jeddah on 23rd May but it was operated by Eagle Express(Nas Air) 9M-ACM KNE8003. A MAS B777 9M-MRM operated an Umrah flight on the same day but it flew KUL-JED as MH8004.
