  1. Los Angeles! To all my friends up North, it is time to make a move and go to the USA. An opportunity came up to transfer to the USA, based in Los Angeles (can you say LAX, Van Nuys, Burbank, Long Beach etc etc) and I couldn't say no. Not sure if this is the right forum to post it, but to all of the great and friendly Mwings guys, please do let me know if you are in the LA area!

     

    I will not have a chance to do any more KUL trips, but the ones that I did, and the friends that I made, will stay with me for a lifetime!

     

    Thank you and take care

  2. Hi Guys,

     

    Long time no post!

     

    Went out to Changi this morning....weather was marginal but I was itchy for a photo shoot so thought "what the heck". As it was, only got 30 mins of sunshine, most of it the runway was closed....and so on and so on. So it forced me to do something different. Wanted to share the results with you. Hope you like 'em

  3. Following on from the other thread "Lakeside Arrivals 14L" some shots from 14R

     

    Saturday afternoon was great fun. You guys have a great location there!

     

    Enjoyed the shallow departure of the MAS Kargo B747.....just refused to climb!

    Always enjoy a hybrid, and this one is no exception!

    There was already a IL76 parked at Cargo.....so who would have guessed that we get another one. That must be unique for KLIA, two IL76s!!

    On Sunday, I had already decided to make a move back to Singapore after lunch with Big Jon. As I went to my car, I suddenly remembered the Yemenia A332. Whilst Jon and I were having lunch, there was a big rainstorm, and I thought my chances were burned. We rushed off to try, with Jon skidding his car on the way, it was quite scary to watch....Jon change those rear tyres please! And when we arrived out went Yemenia into another approaching thunderstorm with the blackest of black skies, but it was bathed in sunlight! It was a fitting last shot for my trip to KUL.....!

  4. Hi MWings,

     

    Just came back to Singapore from a 1 1/2 day photography to your wonderful KLIA. Didn't see too many of you, but of course met up with Big Jon....cheers for lunch :drinks: and I will return the compliment when you make it to Singapore! Also a hello to WT and Imran, whom I met for the first time and displayed the usual MWings friendliness!

     

    Wasn't sure where to post these photos as I could not find a thread for AM 14L arrivals, so I thought I would create one. Apologies if I was wrong!

     

    I spent the Saturday morning the Lakeside (aka "The Pond") and the weather started out nicely......some wonderful buildup gave me a stunning background to work with....and nice sun! My highlight was the MK A332, which was my first time seeing this lovely machine!

    There were a nice host of arrivals during the whole morning (MH B737s and Air Asia A320s are GOOD for me!) and I devoured all of them. Especially enjoyed the Qatar A333 still in Asian Games c/s, yummy!

    After that I went to 14R for afternoon rotation.....I will post pictures from that session in the other thread. Got some nice things.....go have a look!

     

    This morning (Sunday) I woke up nice and early and was a bit dismayed to see a lot of cloud cover whilst driving to the airport. Postive thinking prevailed and sure enough 10 minutes after I pitched up at the lake....the sun broke through! :yahoo:

     

    Didn't know what to expect and then I saw an interesting B747 on finals.....couldn't make it out until it was virtually side on...GMG Airlines!!!!!! Was very very happy to catch this one

     

    tfamk_kul_170708_800.jpg

     

    At this point Jon and I were SMSing frantically with all of the meet up arrangements and I was keeping him informed of what was coming in. Then, another interesting B747 on approach. I couldn't quite make it out, and then it clicked.. Iran Air B747SP!!! On my goodness, this was a dream for me and I must say the highlight of my trip. Best of all, Jon told me later, it was EP-IAA which apparently has just been returned to operational service. Carrying some nice stickers as well!

    It was a pity that no-one was there to share my joy, but at least I can post them here to let you see them.

     

    Wanted to get these up first, will post more of the session later. Now time to process some more pics and put them on the 14R thread!

     

    Enjoy!

  5. Hi Guys,

     

    Happy New Year and looking forward to a great 2008!

     

    To usher in the New Year, some pics from a recent landing sequence which I think that you would enjoy.

     

    On 30th December, the family returned from Hanoi. Our expected arrival time was 1737. However, 30 minutes before landing, the captain informed us that there was a huge thunderstorm over Changi and we would be unable to land, and therefore had to go into a holding pattern. We finally landed at 1820 hours, and from what I know KUL got some interesting diverts.....

     

    Just established for 02L with the tail end of the storm moving away

    Another nice shot :D

    9vsrq_sin_301207_wingstorm_landscap.jpg

     

    Landing on 02L with lots of water being kicked up....and a soaked airfield!

    9vsrq_sin_301207_landing_2_800.jpg

     

    Turning off the runway....nice subjects and a really dramatic cloudbase

    9vsrq_sin_301207_landing_turnoff2_8.jpg

     

    Enjoy! Next installment will be pics from Hanoi!

  6. Hi Guys,

     

    Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

     

    Haven't been to the airport much lately as the weather has been....well "poor"! However today was better and I had a waltz down to 02L. Sun was hit and miss but some interesting subjects:

     

    Lion Air sent in their B737-900...regular colours <_<

    A nice Air Asia from Thailand carrying special colours....pretty!

    Garuda Ireland (?????) with EI-DMZ and winglets!

    eidmz_211207_sin_ltf_800.jpg

     

    My first sighting of Jet Airways A332. Lovely!

    vtjwj_211207_sin_ltf_800.jpg

     

    And last but not least, a regular Cathay B772, but what a cloud formation in the background. TK...wouldn't fly through that right???! :blink:

    Enjoy and talk soon!
