[KUL Apron 2010]

antonov-124 is currently at MASkargo bay.. was so near but yet no camera with me to capture ruslan..

[Melaka spotting]

hahaha..

was it missed purposely to add same but not similar effect??

[KUL Apron 2010]

If you can see the D7 Oakland Raiders plane there's a Southern Air 747 parked beside it. Does anybody have the story on that plane? Is it about to be scrapped or is it currently undergoing maintenance?

 

I was informed that the southern air is currently undergoing maintenance and all its 4 engine are being replace.. those 3 air atlanta and 1 Saudi Arabia 747 in front of the engineering hangar is to be scraped (one of the air atlanta scrapping job is on going..)

Nice catch! Is it the engine or the APU that is running?

 

i guess its the APU as i can see heat trail from the exhaust..

correct me if im wrong..

[KUL Apron 2010]

E-4B..

though it was at the bay, the engine runs 24hours non stop..

 

 

 

later 2 bus came ferrying personnels

 

 

 

 

other catch

 

 

[KUL 32L in 2010]

caught this morning..

 

[KUL 32L in 2010]

Most likely E-4B (73-1676) operated as "Huge 25" today. The pod/benjol/hump is the E-4B's Super high frequency(SHF) satellite antenna.

 

could be since the US defence secretary is in town..

[KUL 32L in 2010]

saw a united states 747 at the MASkargo apron.. unfortunately my camera was not with me.. i spotted an unusual pod on top of the 747(anyone know whats that for??) besides having a air-to-air refueling capability.. will definitely bring camera tomorrow..

[RMAF Butterworth AFB]

MIR, from the pictures I thought you were the official photographer...

 

i made similar assumption too before reading the last line..haha..

[Plane skids while landing]

Got a picture from my uncle informing a emergency landing of a MAS 737-400 at Senai from KUL..any information bout it??

 

look at the gear..

[KUL 32R in 2010]

managed to see both NCA 747-400F..

yesterday while leaving office, it was NCA-pegasus and today NCA-Aries..all carrying motor GP stuffs..

[KUL 32R in 2010]

Ha ha! I missed that Star Alliance.

 

Since single runway ops on 32L from 1100, I went to the terminal instead of Sepang Town.

Wrong choice for me ! Anjung Tinjau was CLOSED for some A380 Meeting/Training

I was unable to see any aircraft movement in Satellite Building.

 

I went to the road leading to Ladang at around 1320. Usually, rwy should back to normal at around 1300.

Waited until 1420 but rwy still closed.

I heard some siren near 32R/14L. I guess they must have some kind of emergency drill.

 

Left for home after that.

 

32R was closed from 12-2++ for aircrash exercise..

any pictures of the exercise??

[Another crash: Katekavia AN24 at Igarka impacted ground short of runway]

today KLIA did their annual air crash exercise at runway 32R around 12pm - 2pm..

150 on board Champion Air and 52 death reported..

[Inside a freighter]

Why were the flaps and slats in full deployment mode? Were they conducting some sort of checks?

 

Yes,the engineers was fixing the flaps..

[Inside a freighter]

I was on a site visit at MASKargo and managed to get in a 747-400F(9M-MPS)

 

9M-MPS

 

 

no seats..these is where the palletes will lock in..

 

 

and the flight deck..
