    I bet Singapore spotters are busy these few days....

    tok tok tok tok tok....

     

    Hi Colin..how's the Bus...?

     

     

    Yo TK...haha guess what ....limited destination on this "small lady" for the time being. Getting a bit dull. Flying wise....accuracy superb but she cannot take turbulence well, Ecam actions horrible lengthy and tedious Unlike the solid American built heavier counterpart ( you operating and my ex babe ).

     

    Nevertheless...it's good fleet for my sectors accumulation. Cannot complain already. haha

     

    Hope to pay you guys a visit soon. Anyone in sin keen to head up KL soon day trip spotting?

     

    Leech, KC, Tsen Tsan, Kian Hong ??

     

     

    SherM : Welcome...hope u enjoy the sub standard images. Cheers

    DB beautiful shots !!! I love the SQ 9V-SPG most. Reminds me well of Sarong Party Gals....not really but this plane is the first in-flight diversion :help: that I had operated on during training. s#1t happens <_< sometimes. I will always remember this Jumbo and my experience on it indeed. :drinks:

    Air China sent in Beijing Olympic 2008 "Fu Wa" B738 last night. So glad that she parked at gate D32.

    The SQ A380 in the background is without an engine.

    Taken on my way back to Sibu on 11/5 (Sunday).

    3 airports in one frame - Seletar, Paya Lebar & Changi, so close to each other.

    DSC_4335_mw.jpg

     

    Overview of Changi, the new runway 20L/02R is on the left.

    Also can be seen is SQ A380 berthing at T3 gate B4 & a plane is taking off from runway 20C.

    Hope u guys enjoy.

     

    Wow Raymond, excellent shots. You even managed to capture the Airshow location and taxiway leading to Rwy 20L. Beautiful !!! Thanks for sharing

    Wow KianHong,

     

    Nice Mustang shots. !!!

     

    I am still trying my luck at getting to travel/jumpseat in one soon if the trip with my friend to Witchita for the deliver flt back to Seletar works out as plan. Gonna take annual leave to join him for the flying holiday trip back on the delivery flight. Hoping the plan materialise and will definitely take lots and lots of shots if it's a GO.

     

    Meanwhile I salivate at all your mustang shots :drinks: ....why didn't SFC consider changing to this while I was training there !!! :clapping:

    Thanks Kianhong,

     

    Lovely pics of SQM. I miss the blue colour tone though. Perhaps a very distinct different from SQ livery this time round with a callsign for every sortie. Great job SFC.

     

    NOW !! I must get a new Learjet 45 model in that new livery !!!! Hurray !!

     

    Safe flying training, Kianhong and pls help me say hi to David Higgins and Capt Bill Ward. Enjoyed my flights with Capt Ward tremendously especially the night when we came in for a landing accompanied with TS Wx.

     

    Cheers :drinks:

    norman! thanx for the info. and many thanx for the nose! it looks like a dugong to me. i shall catch her nose further tumolo.
    Wow Azahan....thats a nice name to call this plane. So far the worst name I have heard is what ?? Haha...Super Gigantic Vibrator !!! Is the plane so bad looking, I was thinking ?? Cheers :drinks:
    Norman,on the A380 only inboard engines can do reverse thrust.The A380 have only two hydraulic systems (Green and Yellow,pressure at 5000psi) instead of the normal 3 systems on Airbus aircraft (Green,Blue and Yellow,pressure at 3000psi).I was in Toulouse last year doing CCQ A320-A330,and took the opportunity to see the A380 Sim,it really look like a spacecraft rather than an airplane cockpit I must say.
    What some rumours I heard before, Airbus claimed no need reversers at all for this plane actually. The brakes are that good !! I also believe so since approach speed can be as low as 130kts or lower depending on actual landing weight. It's a fantastic airplane !!!

    Great catch there Kian Hong.

     

    Is the owner offering any discounted joyflight for SFC cadets or general public? You could have asked them for any offer to fly as pax on this classic DC-3 even for a short flight over Perth sightseeing.

     

    Give us a shout if they are offering. We book the next avail flight over to Perth. Heee Heee. :clapping:

    This one is dedicated to you know who of this forum. PAPA AZAHAN. Lovely. Same like previous shot. Almost no cropping required. Narita bound as SQ12. Plenty of 'Kawaii' Japanese stewardesses on board. :wub: :air_kiss: :angel: Colin, is it you ah? Five Gold Bar Captain Azahan rotating this Papa Azahan.

    Michael Stapleton is the Ah Gong of SFC Jandakot. Must respect him hor !!!

     

    Flew with him on my Phase 4 Baron checkride. Was a memorable fun flight instead of stress. Taught me lots of things than my own flying instructor.

     

    Kian Hong: Please send my best regards to Mr MS and MR David Higgins. Without them, I will not be in my position today. ( tell Higgins, I am waiting for him to come over to Cargo fleet ).

     

    Take care...Leech when is your next Perth flight, I tag along pax on personal holiday. We can rent a car and go visit Jandakot.

     

    Cheers

    Unfortunately, no pix from that incident. Only saw it from far, no spark or smoke at all. Pilot must real good at keeping the nose aloft and putting it down slowly.

     

    It all depends on the wind direction. 06L/24R for landing and take off. 06R/24L for circuits. 12/30 will be in use if winds favor that runway.

     

    Hello Kianhong,

     

    Great job in making to Jandakot. Like TK mentioned. Still a long way to go. Work hard n play hard there...always baring in mind the view of you in the right hand seat of 777 or A330 very soon. ( Sorry...they are no longer taking in cadets for 744, confirmed by CP ).

     

    Also flying in jandakot requires 100% or more concentration for situation awareness due to heavy traffic and rookie GA pilots. Watch out for these Gungho pilots when they fly circuits.

     

    All the best and hope to catch up with you in Perth when I go over for holiday.

     

    Cheers :drinks:

    Umm, getting to the beach, you head around the back of the airport past the eastern park (and of course Krispy Kreme's) onto General Homes Dr and a short way along you turn off left to the ATC Terminal Control Unit, right there is carpark which is where I photographed from, or on a warmer day with a step ladder and a short lens you head to the beach. Great spot

     

    Colin, enjoy Sydney and the A380 (although just remember, you're bird is still nicer!)

     

     

    Liam,

     

    haha.. I will. Going to Hobbyco for some models hunting after I arrive. My bird is still nicer ?? hee hee... U refering to B744 Jumbo correct ? If u spotting on sat, look out for flight 231 arrival. :clapping:
