Can this be aviation related? http://dsaexhibition.com/

Am I missing something here. Almost all the TV news and papers mentioned it as Northwest Airlines but the aircraft is definitely a Delta?

I have a friend who must buy 2 seats whenever he travels by plane. If its OGS 1 seat is paid by the Govt the other paid by him. So much so he prefers to drive if its w/in peninsular....

Boleh lagi ke Doc? BTW Captain if there's no hole could you still land? (sorry for the stupid question)

I believe they went out for window shopping recently.....

10 years? Does this make MIG the shortest operational a/c in TUDM's inventory? Remember in 2004 when I "stumble" upon TUDM's Open Base day in Kuantan and the highlight of that day is the acrobatic show by 5 Migs. 4 formation and 1 solo. After witnessing that performance I wasn't particularly impressed with the Thunderbirds' performance. BTW the 2 MIGs that went down, both were due to engine failure right?

There's none in the Police Air Wing. Quite certain there's none too in the Army and Navy Air wing.

There's a 747 with MH logo on the fin inside AK's hangar and another blue fin 747, last night. Any body saw them? Does anybody knows any particular reason why they are there?

Twice actually. 1st the early 90s and later in 1995 or 1996. The latter one is where as Norman stated above where they have to cancel the performance because of haze. But their practice sessions were conducted in fine weather.

Alfatihah to their families... so close to Aidilfitri to suffer such tragedy......

Watching Helicopter War on NatGeo and not realising we have a our own Helicopter War..... http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/26aafl/Article/index_html and his blog http://xnuripilot.blogspot.com/?zx=8b5857f22f2b8a70

Al Fatihah. I was at Parliament the day he took oath as a Senator. A happy and proud occasion for the OKU people.

You bet!!

Thanks Naim & Mushrif.... Unfortunately the Gov didn't think they're separate..... AirAsia X fails to get Govt nod for flights to Sydney and Seoul SEPANG: AirAsia X’s expansion into Sydney and Seoul will be delayed as it has failed to get the nod from the Malaysian Government to fly to the two cities, forcing the long haul low-cost carrier to formulate a back-up plan to utilise some of the new aircraft that will be delivered later this year. “We had asked for rights to fly to Sydney and Seoul and the Government decided to defer granting us the approval. They want (AirAsia) to settle (its) dues with Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB),’’ AirAsia X chief executive officer Azran Osman-Rani told StarBiz in an interview recently. “It is a high profile issue and needs a lot of justification but we are AirAsia X and not the ones that owe MAHB money for airport services. Every invoice that we receive is paid within 30 days.” "It is unfortunate that we are brought into the AirAsia issue but we have written and explained that our accounts are all current,’’ he said. About RM65mill payment due to MAHB from AirAsia is in dispute. Azran reiterated that “the dispute is between the two (AirAsia and MAHB) but delaying us from flying into these two destinations will not help travellers who have limited choices and we lose opportunities of the multiplier impact (that) tourism has.” “We know the Koreans are keen to have us and both the airports – Sydney and Seoul – welcome us,’’ he said. The delay may be seen as a setback in its expansion plans as with so much capacity coming onstream, AirAsia X has to work fast to secure rights for other markets so that its planes are not grounded for too long. “We believe the two markets are big enough for more players. MAHB has been trying hard to get Qantas and Jetstar back and here we are waiting to fly to Sydney,’’ Azran added. Whether it is AirAsia or AirAsia X, there are common shareholders in both companies and allowing AirAsia into newer markets will certainly heat up competition and drive fares down as seen from its flights to Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and London. “Fundamentally, we do not fly to a destination and take passengers away. We create a new market which even other players can tap into,’’ the AirAsia X chief said. AirAsia X is set to take delivery of three A330 this year – one each in September, November and December. It needs to utilise these aircraft and Azran said he was now busy trying to come up with a plan so that the aircraft would be fully utilised since the Sydney and Seoul routes would be delayed. “We will look at the near term first since we will take delivery of an aircraft in September. We may add capacity on our existing routes to Gold Coast, Hangzhou and Taipei. The new destinations that we are considering include Chengdu. We are hoping to get the time slots soon and the Transport Minisntry has been really helpful in all this,’’ he said. AirAsia X might fly into either Sharjah or Abu Dhabi sometime this year as part of its plan to venture into the Middle East, he said, adding that Baharin was also on the cards but Teheran would be delayed. India is a market that AirAsia X wants to look at in 2010 but Amritsar may come earlier if it manages to get the rights, but via Bangkok. As for the US, the airline liked New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles but formal submissions had not been made, although the process had begun, Azran said, adding that AirAsia X hoped to cover the US by next year. http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/7/28/business/4362667&sec=business

I don't understand, why did they go separate way in the first place? Why not just let AK extend their flight internationally?

Nasi Dagang on SQ? Do we have Nasi Dagang on MH?

Its confirmed..... MALAYSIA Airlines will suspend its thrice-weekly services from Kuala Lumpur to New York via Stockholm vice versa effective October 2009. In a statement here today, the airlines said the last flight from Kuala Lumpur to New York will be on Sept 30 while the last flight departing New York will be on Oct 1 and Stockholm on Oct 2. Malaysia Airlines commercial director Datuk Rashid Khan said the airlines has been serving New York since 1998 and Stockholm since 2004. He said Malaysia Airlines has decided to suspend the services as demand has dropped due to the global economic crisis. "The suspension is part of our continuous review to ensure that we retain the correct balance in network and fleet utilization given supply and demand. "We are making arrangements to notify all who are affected. Customers holding tickets issued prior to today for flights from Kuala Lumpur to New York/ Stockholm vice versa and Stockholm to New York vice versa will be eligible for a refund, without any fees. We can also make arrangements for them to fly with our partner airlines should they wish to continue with their journey," he said. Rashid said Malaysia Airlines will continue to offer its thrice weekly flights from Kuala Lumpur to Los Angeles via Taipei. It will maintain an office in New York and continue to offer services to the Big Apple via its airline partners. Malaysia Airlines will also maintain an office in Stockholm, and customers can continue to connect to Stockholm via Amsterdam with Malaysia Airlines’ code share partner, KLM. For further information, customers can contact their travel agents. Those who purchased their tickets via Malaysia Airlines' offices, call centre and website can contact Malaysia Airlines' call centre at 1300 88 3000 (Malaysia). Customers in North America can contact the Los Angeles' office at 1 800 552 9264 while those in Sweden are to call the Stockholm office at 08-50530050.

I have a lot of pictures taken from the airport tarmac. Unfortunately all of it were lost when my laptop crash last January. Some like these was saved when I upload it into photobucket. I'll keep it here before it too go missing.... so here goes..... Remember this? About 3 years back. Actually this is the arrival picture, the first one is the departure to Jakarta. Some pics were blur because my digicam's batteries died. So had to use my handphone camera instead. And this were the days before D80 arrive. Enjoy....
