Really nice shot, Maarof; can you elaborate more on the Ilyushin IL-76 in the background ???
Sorry I can't help much Pieter. All I know it was parked in the cargo section of the airport. Can anybody help?

I hope this post is not too late. I went spotting again last Saturday afternoon. Jonathan was there too and I was hoping to tumpang his thread. Since maybe he is busy with other things here are my shots.
I really like this one.
Jonathan said later he missed this Chinese airline. So this is for him.
After that went behind 32L. My first shot, everybody's favourite, Foxtrot Charlie aka MUFC.
Youngest brother followed.
Don't forget older brother from Seattle.
MH Triple.
Then came our neighbours,
From SIngapore.
From Brunei Darussalam.
Followed by the pigeon from Indonesia. Many of the passengers were already aware of the earthquake back home.
To be continued........

TK looks great in that luminous yellow outfit.

I did not know that there's a limit for the number of pictures for every post. So the following pictures had to wait until now. Here they are :

The hibiscus on its way to touch down.
The World Cup hosts arrived appropriately with a football on its nose.
On its way to touch down.
I had to go home after that as it was getting dark and the thunders were giving warning sounds. I hope to come back there soon.

Went spotting between 3 and 6 pm on Thursday 25th May 2006. The weather was hazy and bad for photography. So I have to apologise first.
First stop the Observation Hill. Nobody was there. This Maskargo TF-ARN just arrived. Why not 9M something?
Brother Putrajaya followed. It was then I decided the haze will not help with the tele shots.
So I moved behing 14L. Caught this 330, but since I cought not determine the airline decided to move again.
You can see how bad the haze was. A view of the control tower from my new spot
To this place. My first catch here is this AK bus AFE
Followed coincidently by youngest brother AFF
The first MH 330 came, MKH
Followed by MKR
Then Singapore came, 9V-SRN
Followed by Hongkong
Lat followed
My first surprise, a Merpati 737 PK-HBY, don't know what series.
Don't forget Yati
MMJ
AAD
All MH from here, MQN
MKW
MMD
MRF
MRF ever some wild bananas
MQD
Majlis Kerja Tertinggi
AK's first Airbus, AFA
MH again, MKE
Followed by MPD
To be continued.........

Runway look short....yeah at this angle.
But the big boys landed here with no problem...
I was with Azman on my departure day (21st May), when he confirm with me the night before of Heliconia arrival
BUT weather was really sucks!!!!
(Had to shoot in manual mode, 1/160s f5 ISO 640!! noise level has been reduced by neat image)
this was taken on the morning of 20th May.
we go back to the Final approach of my arrival on the 19th May...
Azman...i dont know where is your house...?? photo too small, as i had strap myself on the jumpseat...bumpy approach with 35knots cross wind!!!
(Had to shoot in manual mode, 1/160s f5 ISO 640!! noise level has been reduced by neat image)
YM TK, for shots in manual mode those are superb! Normally I only use manual when shooting stationary aircraft.

what did u guys think of the tourism minister saying that middle eastern airlines were doubling flights to KL this summer since emirates and qatar airways only flew to KUL 'once a week'.
he also 'discussed' with etihad airways and they 'promised' to fly to KUL by the end of the year.
also in negotiations with him were Mahan Airlines of Iran..
hmmm..
Good news as far as spotters are concerned!
-
Fairul, I really loved the F-50 pics, especially the tail one. I really miss the F-50. Flew one in 1992 Pelangi Air from Padang to Subang with a brief stop at Pekan Baru (is the name correct?). Very prone to turbulence, though.
-
Congrats, Maarof. You've caught the anticollision light. It's not often one can catch it.
Thanks Attan. Hope to meet you one day.
-
While looking at the pics I took on 7th May 2006 behind Runway 32L I saw this red light under the MH 734. Can somebody tell what is it? Naturally not a "red eye".
-
here's the photos from PEN ...not sure all this photo considered as spotting..heheh..
Thai Airway's A300-600
HS-TAA
Fairul, I think there is some camera shake here. Why not try manual exposure and set the speed at 1/100 next time?
-
Welcome aboard, Maarof.
Nice to see another Jedi in an area controlled by the Sith Lords.
Thanks, Capt. Radzi, I admire your shots in A.Net very much. But please don't compare qourselves to Siths and Jedis, ok. I mean we are all friends here. I am a Star Wars fan myself, so where should we place those prosumer and compact users? Should we call them Ewoks or Sand People?
-
Sorry, I meant "MY", not "TM" 
-
when i arrive at the airport (7.10-15am, can't recall exactly), the 330 already pushed back from gate, and starting up her Trent 700 engines. so i take out my cam immediately and click click click...
just finish pushed back,
starting engine,
the rego,
taxiing,
the tail,
left site,
lining up,
TK style,
roarssssssssss
V1,
V2?
positive climbing rates, gear up!
a shot of the airport tv,
DK heading SDK???thats all.
enjoy...Nice pics Sam. By the way isn't "TM" the Internet Country Code for "Malaysia"? May be the Internet and Aviation laws do not recognise each other. Glad Sam that you are using Canon like me. I hope some day you upgrade to a Canon DSLR and compete with our friendly Dark Forces. Some word of advice Sam, for your last pic, the Information Display one, you should use Manual instead of Auto to avoid camera shake. Set to an exposure like 1/100 and you'll get a good pic.

Waah.. Nice Maarof and Aircraft Spotting is your new hobby kaaa ??? Went Start ???
Anyway I Luvv the Queue pic hahahahaha.. KLIA Lot Realy Busy Now Days
I started airplane spotting about 6 months ago but only managed to post pics yesterday after some tution by Sifu Jonathan.
-
Nice set Maarof...Shots at CharlieOneOne holding point are "dramatic"
how do you get rid of the fence?
Using ladders ka??
Norman, I was standing on my scooter. I always come to KLIA with that horse to save petrol and toll fees . Still the top of the fence was initialy visible as seen in the "que" pic. So I had to crop the bottom part of the pic and there you are.

Here are some more pics taken on Sunday 7th May 2006. Are they very large. Somebody tell me how to trim them down.

SQ 777 for Leech. I think SVG stands for Singapore Very Good!
-
awesome!! what gear r u using?
Liau, like Norman hinted I use a Canon. Model 350D. I was lucky that day as the sun was bright, so the depth of field was thick to focus all 4 planes lining up in tandem.
-
[siThanks brothers. I hope to send more pics. Just for laughs look at the "Mind Our English" in The Star today. You can find it too at TheStarOnline.com.my. I have somethng for us all there.
-
Nice one,Maarof and yup,i've noticed it.Looks like it's time for MH to give the 744 a shower...the Big bird looks dirty
The 744 was my first ever photo post to MW. This second photo was taken behind 32 L before I met Jonathan at Weather Station. I hope AK passengers learn to que in line like the planes here.
-
I was beside Jonathan when I took this photo. Notice the black bird?
-
yup...airline companies with low fares will certainly attract pax. If they can offer lower fares than AK, then certainly AK can get threatened.
The sentence or question should be "Can anybody threaten AirAsia?"
-
Is it me or is Datuk Pahamin Rejab's outfit look weird.
Is it him? the one with the white pants and red shirt.
It is Datuk Pahamin Rejab.
