Sorry, wrong thread. This was inbound Joho Bahru of course and not Subang.

"Neptune 536" inbound again. Just heard on HF approaching MABLI. Should be on the ground in an hour. Can someone confirm REG for me please? Thanks.

Hi all, just heard on HF working Manila, GLF4 B-LWX over position NOBEN/NOVEN? at 0157z FL430. Gave destination as Kuala Lumpur so one to watch out for arriving in 1.5 - 2 hours time if anyone needs it for their log book! Hope it's of use to someone.

I think it may have been "Mas Wing 7750" if that means anything?? Did anyone see it please?

Hi Subang spotters! Anyone chance someone could catch the "? 7750" flight currently enroute from Miri? to Subang please? Just heard it on HF working Singapore, reporting OLKIT TERIX TODAM across the S China Sea at FL240. Couldn't make out the callsign at all apart from the numbers. Should be landing Subang 1030-1130 ish, maybe later if it's a slower prop acft. Thanks all. Fingers crossed!

Hi all, heard again on 18 Nov at 1434utc on HF, NEP536. Gave Ho Chi Minh to "Jo bo" again. Unfortunately that time would mean an arrival of around midnight local time so probably no-one around to see it .

Hi Sam, thanks! I spoke to a HKG spotter who runs an SBS there and he said it would be a JS41 as well. He tells me B-HRT was flying locally at low levels at the time I heard it on HF but B-HRS was picked up a couple of hours before heading SE and climbing to FL110 so looks like B-HRS was the one! It was picked up on HKG SBS again at 1142utc so it didn't stay on the ground very long.. If anyone DID see it please let me know as confirmation would be much appreciated.

Hi all, Does anyone know what "Hong Kong Government 2" was on 16 Nov please? I picked him up working Manila on HF between 0308-0524 UTC. Manila advised at position "MINNI"? to contact Kota Kinabula on VHF 126.1. Flight was at FL230 so that is prop territory. Never heard this callsign before and seemed to be heading to BKI so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks.

No idea mate. Was hoping one of you locals knew as I'm in the UK. I heard it on HF and he gave departure and destination points, which is unusual to hear.

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone in the SIN area has a Kinetic SBS-1 or Airnav Radarbox? I know there is one based near KUL somewhere which is hooked up to the libhomeradar site, but it doesn't pick up any of the SIN traffic and one is desperately needed in this area. I listen to the HF traffic over the S China Sea and could really use some logs to find out the REG's . KC Sim, a belated thanks for this info that I requested. I did check back once but there were no replies at the time. Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, thanks. According to their website http://www.neptuneair.com/p2.asp?id=11 they have 5x 727s and 3x 737s, hence why I asked which one.

Is this airport otherwise known as Johor Bahru?? If so, would anyone happen to know the REG of the Neptune Air flight which arrived from Ho Chi Minh around 2330 local last Thursday night? Flight number was NEP536. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can find out! Thanks.

9M-MXB hands over on 15 Nov.

Hi all, Can any of you guys tell me what the REG was for GAP800 (AirPhil Express) A320 that arrived in the evening on 30th please? I show the airline as only having 3x A320s in service at the moment and it wasn't the new one RP-C8388. What is the status of the 2x ex Philippine Airlines A320s RP-C3227/8 that are supposed to be in service with AirPhil? My research shows they haven't flown on those REGs since May so are they parked or have they been re-registered with AirPhil? Any sightings? Thanks.

I had to be cautious about it to save me from getting egg on my face. Separate topic - 9M-MLH is on its way. Just arrived Honolulu now.

I think you guys need to calm down! I have not said anywhere that there will definitely be a new livery. The only thing that could be seen from the angle it was at was the new titles. Given the fact that no fresh info has come out of my sources since (which is virtually unheard of for brand new livery changes) then I tend to side with Radzi that it's looking like just being a minor change. Time will tell though.

No real updates I'm afraid. Only thing I know is that titling now reads "Malaysian Airlines" instead of "Malaysia" but it's not currently visible at BFI so can't update you on the livery.

I just posted in the MAS forum that 9M-MXA was seen at BFI a few hours ago in what appears to be a new livery. Might be of interest to someone. No pics yet.

9M-MXA just seen at BFI paint hangar in what appears to be a new livery. Standby for updates.

9M-MLH is now loaded. Due to deliver on 18 Oct.

Nope. There is 9M-MLI to come after that. That is the last known leased one at present, but there are some more BBAM aircraft in the pipes that don't have lessees assigned yet.

Josh, not sure yet. 9M-MXA is scheduled to deliver on 29 Oct, but 9M-MLH is due to make first flight on 1 Oct and will likely deliver at some point during Oct as well. Although a delivery date has not yet been set for MLH, my gut feeling is that it will arrive before MXA. I'll advise the date when I have it.

9M-MLG on the way. Just landing HNL as I write. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/MAS5403

Hi all, Kianhong, excellent catch with that Indo AF B732. Not seen a pic of one of those moving for a long time. Nice to see some (at least) are still active! On a different note, did any of you guys see the China Eastern on Monday 20th? I am looking for the REG number for it. It was the NKG-SIN-NKG flight I am wanting, CES771/2 and an A319 according to flightstats. I would really appreciate it. Thanks and keep the excellent pics coming! Rgds.

Can anyone tell me if the Beech 350s use fixed callsigns please? I often hear Police 12A/12B/12C on the air and naturally assume that they would be 9M-PTA/B/C respectively - is this always the case or do they ever use a non-matching callsign like Police 12C for 9M-PTA for example? Thanks
