Delta consdering NRT-KUL route after they took over NWA Narita hub. They plan the route to be equiped with 757 or 767. Delta might avoid Singapore due to competition with Star Alliance network which already have many flight to the US. What's more, Continental will be withdrawn from Skyteam this coming June and joining Star Alliance. After failed to merge, United Airline now partner with Continental for Star Alliance and considering Singapore route. This would be a competition for Delta. After delta fully utilize Narita hub, they will consider more asia route. Singapore maybe on the list as code share with JAL. I know that Delta confirmed some flight to Australian destination to be operated from NRT and ATL. They also put Vietnam on their list to be operated from NRT. Other planned new route including Johanesberg, Kuwait, cape town, Shanghai, Nairobi, Ho Chi Minh, Luanda and more.. Delta now the world biggest airline, they can fly anywhere they want. Azuddin

well, Northwest has no luck, but if Delta, there's some chance for it to fly to KUL next year. I really want to see Delta in KL. They sure got nice new livery and they got the 747-400 already. Azuddi

this is great can't wait to get some shot for my KLM collections. Azuddin

haha, looking forward to see the one in my signature. Azuddin

Not alone. My sister was with me. i can say it's my longest spotting ever. I arrived at KUL aroudn 12 and leave around 7. Yup it's more then 70, i don't remeber exact number but it's 100+ telephoto lens. Thanks Pieter. I want to make a big print of that Nairobi. Will it be 777-300ER? Azuddin

Hehe, figure out for beginner like me, it's easier to use. Azuddin

I was so boring with no one at house today, I went to KLIA for spotting. Also a good chance to test Sony A200 first of all, I caught this Pullmantur Air aborting landing and do a go around after a few flights landed, it finally landed here it comes again Simple livery, but nice other arrivals Finally, something for myself and Uncle Pieter PH-BFN (Nairobi). The aircraft that involved in a ground accident with a tow truck a few years ago. enjoy, and do left some comment. Azuddin

I'm going to Sepang today to visit my Aunt, probably going to stop by for spotting for a while.

Everytime I travel, normally I would give a friendly "Hello" to the person next to me. I do respect their privacy and I don't start any chat unless he start first. Most the time, I will get a quiet guy next to me in Economy, and normally get friendly one when I travel Business class. If they start talk, I just carry on. It actually help me a lot when I first travel alone on long haul Trans-Pacific flight. Azuddin

RIP to all I think this is the second crash of a B737-500, after the Egyptair 735 crashed back in 2002. Azuddin

The A300F already at KLIA, with all white body and blue engine. is it ex-Egyptair or something? Azuddin

It always a scary experience to come across such situation. I was on my LAX-IAH flight. They manage to arrest the man (Mexican) before he board the plane. "kantoi" at the x-ray machine at the boarding gate. Azuddin

"Great", only this December, I'm might already no longer in Melaka by that time. Azuddin

Those special liveries are history. Not sure about the paint weight on the MRD, but for MPD (Hibiscus) if I'm not mistaken, those special livery is like the plane is carrying extra 5 tons weight.

Nice and sharp nose shot there Bro Azahan Not only you caught the plane nose, you clearly caught the pilot nose as well. Azuddin

Louis, Simon You should be there before 9 AM to catch the F-50 first arrival. Sometimes during that time, I'll be at my watch tower (Ixora apartment 18th floor) to catch the arrival. Azuddin

I don't get the point. After 8 years, only now they bring it up. Azuddin

From my apartment, I can see it on approach almost everyday on weekday, not sure about weekend. They also have the afternoon arrival and evening departure, but the actual times escape me. Azuddin

Simon, bigger plane like Fokker 50 will arrive from Riau Starting 9 AM, u might want to try to catch a shot. Azuddin

Nice shot of her from inside Sam I saw this TG fly over my car when I was driving from LCCT to MTB. Azuddin

I see I thought the removed paint will look like a chip pieces just like what i see when I was in Houston hangar where a Southwest 737 being strip off to be repainted into new livery. From what I see, they didn't use paint remover, but something like a scraper. The remove paint look a lot like a bits of debris pieces.

What a sad sight Jerry, If you can get some pieces of the scraped off paint, save some for me. I swear I put it in a custom order frame. Really, not kidding...

Looks a lot like a MAS being escorted by KLM.

I'm guessing landing in bad weather. Weather isn't good on the 29th. My dad was in Johor saying got hail (hujan batu) over the highway. Even my trip back to Melaka took 3 hours because of stormy weather which even shook our bus a few times. Azuddin

hehe, maybe next time i can do that again using some model of aircraft that don't fly in/out of KLIA like American Airlines, British Airways and others
