Didn't knew that Neptune Air is adding B734F to their fleet.Go for A.net,Uncle Nguyen; as there are only one photo of her on the database.
Tamizi: Thanks for your support and detailed info on this aircraft. I've never tried my chance on A.net or JP. Following your advice, I'll consider to upload it but WX (in the photos)seems not favourable for acceptance. I've photo-edted from Neutral gray to that colour

Some pics from my last weekend spotting. The rainy season has commenced!
#1 AK, Bank Rakyat, seems it's been repainted?
#2 MH is prioritizing Vietnam by sending regularly their new B737-800. Here is the 9M-MXD on final approach when rain was pouring on the far side of the airport.
#3 Mandarin ERJ-190 special scheme B16829 coming from KaoHsiung
#4 B77W EVA, flight BR391 approached straight into the rain curtain. Photo taken about 3 miles from runway threshold
#5 A320 AK, 9M-AFG departing in heavy downpour
#6 B77W CX got left engine problem when throttle up for taxi. She returned to the gate and was able to resume flight after 2.1/2 hours delay
#7 A newcomer to SGN, the B-734F 9M-NEF of Neptune Air
Thanks for viewing

Dear all,
We, VNAS, don't mind which days to which spotting locations as I'm sure that the "organizing committee" will arrange the most enjoyable event for all of us. Most important is to get acquainted with the fellow MW members. Second is arrangement for transport to these places, we are most grateful if our Malaysian friends can give non-local spotters a ride
Guys, if you want durian cakes like last time at Changi, just let me know

SZB and Ladang
There are 3 confirmed VNAS spotters: Loc, Nguyen(Phuong) and Son(Trinh)
We'll stay at MyHotel@Sentral

A few to share . It has been long time since 14L in use.
Hon Kit: Very nice shots
. Is this WOW livery the newest and painted on a different aircraft?I do miss this place, can we have the chance to come back there next June, bro?
-
They do increase!... by a 100ml water cup/bottle
. They inform me so by email for my next June flight. -
Was there something wrong with that Maswings -MWE, or was it momentarily tail-high on landing?
It's due to hard braking. I got an experience (of this braking) when the pilot wanted to evacuate the runway at the nearest taxiway while the speed was roughly 50 knots.

Rare shots of the "old lady" Antonov An-2 in-flight. BTW, Kanehoshi, my best wishes to your newborn boy and your kami san

So far I don't feel that JT is the King of Delay or poor safety. I mostly take leisure travel (my own pocket money
) in SEA on Air Asia aircraft (AK, FT, QZ) and the longest delay I encountered was on both flights SGN-CGK and CGK-SGN with Indonesia AirAsia during Xmas 2009. My family took return flights CGK-Bali (DPS)-CGK with JT and we boarded on-time. The seat-pich is not generous but better than other LCC's. What made me think they are more safety-conscious was when I waited for taxi clearance and pushback, I saw the FO of a B739 which just arrived to the parking made an exterior inspection. He saw that 1 tyre of the left maingear is deflated and this was replaced in quite a short time (I took a dozen pics of that tyre change!). Another plus score IMHO is the timely announcement of weather condition en route live from the cockpit in Indonesian, excellent English and French! Both pilots are Indonesian. I later met the young FO and praised him. Perhaps it was my lucky day?
As an air spotter with radio scanner, I find the JT daily flights CGK-SIN-SGN and vice-versa keep good schedule records and the POB announced to ATC are always over 150 pax. This shows that the Vietnamese people who mostly fly to SIN had no suspicion about the airline safety.(FYI, there are 8 other daily flights from SQ, VN, Tiger and Jetstar)

Yes, those GE's really mean business. Nice shots, kanehoshi! Look forward to spotting with you soon! Here is one I managed to shoot while still on board my plane:
Flee: Welcome to Tan Son Nhat (SGN). Hope to see you on Sunday for photo-shooting. If Kanehoshi is not available, please phone me on 0906846869 (local SIM) or +(84)906846869 and I will be your guide and chauffeur

Suzuki San: Very nice shots of the IL-96 cargo's climb. This aircraft looks powerful at this shooting angle
All the best to you and your family during this hard time in Japan.

Although Nielsen sound Danish, his 1st name Pieter is definitely Dutch...
Anyhow, didn't something similar happen to the Swiss ATControler after the collision of the TU154-B757, involving Russian children too ?
Pieter, the above Nielsen is actually the Swiss ATC controler.

Is ths AK bird about to depart or dock as I dont see the air bridge link to her ? Does AK uses air bridge here ?
Dear Raymund,
Yes,the AK flight 883 is about to depart from gate 19. AK or any international LCC have to use air bridges at SGN and HAN

And sometimes you can get a shot like this. Cheers!
Sri Ramani: Really nice and 3D-effect

Last Sunday 13 Mar. was a Malaysian day at SGN
C130H-TUDM + B734MH + A320AK reg.9M-AFJ
C130H RMAF, a rare military bird in VN!
It departed on Wednesday 16 Mar, late morning (my friend's photo )
Hope to see more Malaysian military aircraft visiting SGN.

Was in SGN last night - VP-BMX still sitting idle at Bay 21 with engine/probe covers.
Any shots of SQ186/185 (9V-SRG) from our VVTS gang? cheers!
Hi Sandeep,
SQ186/185 flights arrive abt. 1900LT therefore we can't shoot them approaching. I have some night shots of SQ185 at ramp, I'll search for the 9V-SRG. In the meantime please content with the 9V-SRI Star Alliance which arrived twice (SQ172, SQ185) on Sunday 6 March.
So.....VP-BPX still at SGN with engine-problems ?
VP-BPX got a flame-out engine #3 which forced an abort take-off hence 08 tires deflated.
The long delay could be caused by certification of repair before permission to fly?

VN-A322, dedicated to our ever hardworking VN spotters!
Happy Chinese New Year folks!! Be safe no matter where you are!
Sri Ramani: Very nice pics especially shooting through the glass panes at AT. Keep them coming
On behalf of Vietnam air spotters who are enjoying TET (Vienamese Lunar New Year) for 1 week, I truly appreciate your care and friendship.Here is one of my favorite pics taken at AT last year:

Do you know if VN have repainted VN-A371 in a better SkyTeam livery? Also I would like to know if all the 772's are all repainted, some have patchy areas and mismatched engines
Thanks Soorox for trying to speak Vietnamese
and sorry for late reply.VN-A371 SkyTeam livery will wait for quite a long time before next repaint. The B772's are now being repainted beginning with the first delivered airliners (VN-A141, 142 done). VNA jetliners full repaint are done when the aircraft go through C-check overseas.

Antonov An-26 reg. 267 low approach
Uncle Pieter, Pls. call me or sms to (+84906846869)or 0906846869 if using local SIM/telephone if you want to go spotting this weekend.

"DID TK's inaugural to SGN on 30/12/2010 ? if yes, This shot shot when TK dep from BKK on that afternoon"
Sawadee Prompong, u're right it's the same aircraft. You've complemented TY068 first flight from BKK to SGN and the sky at VTBS was much better
Happy New Year to you and your family -

MH605 was operated by B738 9M-MLG. Apologies for the bad quality due to the heat haze.

A cheerful cockpit crew similing for the camera as they taxi 9M-AQA into Gate C11
With that, I wish everyone a Happy New Year and here's to more exciting subjects in great weather next year!
Very nice pics, IMO pic MH605 at this size looks quite good.VN-A142 pic is certainly my favourite
Spotting at T1 viewing hall is always a pleasure for me. I wish you and all MW members successful in your career and shooting more superb pics during 2011
