  1. Thanks Norman. I wonder how much longer we will be able to see them in the air. Great aeroplane.
  2. Not yet Mir. Saw it on the pan today but have not seen it flying yet. A few from this morning. IMG_5492 by Janner88, on Flickr IMG_5495 by Janner88, on Flickr IMG_5509 by Janner88, on Flickr IMG_5528 by Janner88, on Flickr IMG_5535 by Janner88, on Flickr
  3. Very nice shots Victor. Third shot for me as well. Saw the special tail F/A 18 off the beach here at Batu Ferringhi yesterday afternoon. Too far away for a decent photo though. Seems to have "70" on the fins.
  4. Was just down the road from Butterworth this morning. Caught these two on approach. IMG_5439 by Janner88, on Flickr IMG_5445 by Janner88, on Flickr
  5. Raymund, nice shot. Thanks for posting. It's some 5 years since I last saw an AN124 here. The load they were carrying would be the ground equipment belonging to No. 6 Sqn RAF. That squadron is bringing its aircraft to Malaysia for the forthcoming 5 Power defence exercise which I believe starts shortly. I hope that they will still be here for LIMA in early December. Not sure when the Typhoons are due to arrive though.
  6. Thanks Raymund. I believe that 2 An124s carried the equipment out here from Leuchars in Scotland. So, might be another arrival soon.
  7. Thanks Hon Kit. All those were taken from the bus stop. I was hoping the An 124s might be in but looks like I was too early. Can't get there today.
  8. Mir, thanks for the info. Again, unfortunately, a day when I cannot get to the airport. Was there earlier this morning. Just a few, mainly from the bus stop.

IMG_5375 by Janner88, on Flickr Finally, was very surprised to see this B733! IMG_5363 by Janner88, on Flickr Thanks for looking. More on the Flickr page if you are interested.
  9. Just seen F-WTAU climbing out of PEN on FlightRadar24. Anyone got any idea what it was? Another ATR ferry possibly? Sorry, this was posted in the wrong thread. Should have been in the Penang thread.
  10. Pieter, not surprising really given the arrival/departure times, 3am/1am respectively quoted by Yorden above, of the ATRs. Pretty much impossible to get any photos at those times. Even getting on the ground shots is difficult at the moment as the airport is undergoing major reconstruction work. Not sure where they would have been parked but if in front of the tower on the fairly new stands, again, not much chance of any good photos. Not sure if they would be able to access the old GA pan as new gates are being built out of the north end of the terminal and seem to pretty well block access to that area. The F100 timings allow a better chance of photos, weather permitting. Last Sunday it certainly did not! Yorden, thanks for the additional info on timings.
  11. Simon, perhaps this site will help: My link Look for 'RAAF Series 2' in the title bar and, after clicking on that, 'A94 - CAC CA-26/CA-27 Sabre' in the listing. Should be able to get the serials from there.
  12. Thanks Mir. Will try and catch this one either on arrival or departure. Would welcome any updates re timings that you might get.
  13. Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to the airport today. Shall miss that session.
  14. Many thanks for the heads-up. Managed to get down in time despite driving through very heavy rain in the Green Lane area. Weather at the airport was cloudy but dry. Spotted the B744 on approach at 14.20. it did a full-stop landing off that approach and then sat on the taxyway for about 25 minutes before starting the first session of touch & gos. Managed a few shots. 20110609-IMG_4104 by Janner88, on Flickr 20110609-IMG_4110 by Janner88, on Flickr 20110609-IMG_4160 by Janner88, on Flickr 20110609-IMG_4164 by Janner88, on Flickr
  15. Two aircraft from Butterworth over Batu Ferringhi this morning. 20110525-IMG_3925 by Janner88, on Flickr 20110525-IMG_3938 by Janner88, on Flickr 20110525-IMG_3941 by Janner88, on Flickr
  16. Syukri, thanks. I must have missed it when I drove past.
  17. I was passing Butterworth this morning and spotted a new gate guard at the main entrance. Anyone know what happened to the Sabre? Butt_f5gg by Janner88, on Flickr
  18. Thanks Liam. You are right about the window. I didn't notice that until you pointed it out.
  19. Two visitors spotted at PEN earlier today. Couldn't get the third as it was almost completely covered. C180, G-ARAT. 20110310-IMG_3172 by Janner88, on Flickr Cessna Citation Mustang, HS-VIP. 20110310-IMG_3173 by Janner88, on Flickr
  20. Looking at the SIA Cargo site, I think the times are more likely to be local and not GMT. A 1730 local arrival would be good. See here: http://www.siacargo.com/news220211_1.asp
  21. Overhead Batu Ferringhi a short while ago. IMG_3110 by Janner88, on Flickr
  22. Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated.
  23. Thanks, Bro Ignatius. I am disappointed that the wing tip of the KAC was 'clipped'. Must remember to change lenses in that spot next time.
