As the turn around time is approx 1.5 hrs... the tarmac team managed to roam the cabin ...
Funky retro scheme...
And we waited for arrival of Dhaka bound pax.... and were lucky to photographed a Bangladeshi actor ... here with one of Biman's KUL rep...
-
Once the passengers of Flt 086 disembarked.... we went in into the beautiful aircraft to meet the crew
(prior permissions were sought and readily approved, on Dhaka side as well as KUL side)
The flight was commandeered by Capt Shoiab Choudhury and assisted by Capt Hasnain Choudhury (no relations I believed)
and we managed to get the whole operating crew to do a group photo
Some of the crew were actually did the delivery ferry flight of this aircraft back to Dhaka ..
While waiting for the cleaning team to do their chores in the cabin, we went out for external tour of this last passenger servicing DC10...
together with the tech crew..
Together with Biman's KUL Station Manager, Mr Shaukat...
... more exterior shots...
none left out.....
.... more from terminal/tarmac team later
-
Yes.... but the equipments on the tarmac to service the Diesel10 were causing a bit of a headache for us..
Nevertheless ... we just shoot in between them....
Simply amazing when she's coming face to face with you....
-
Yeah.... we were desperate to get to the tarmac for Biman arrival...
but at 1500 (STD), no AVSEC available to escort us .... so several phone calls were made...
While waiting.... we tried shooting from inside the terminal...
As you can see from the "test shots" above.... no go...
More phone calls followed.....
-
Huhuhu.... Noses from the King.... hail ...
Sharing my shots from the 22nd and 30th November,

Sharp...sharp...
Yeah... lets get the ball rolling for this 32L thread again...
and you can spot till dark....
...... ....... ........ while it lasts.....

I think I've not visited "ladang" for more than 4 years....
Last 27th August... I was there... specifically for Tuesday special midday single runway operations...
(Monday they close 14L/32R at midday and Tuesday they close 14R/32L... for schedule maintenance)
normally its between 1130-1230
The trees has grown quite a bit now....
Compare to when I was there in 2006

Wow.... CN295 .... good one TK...
This was a few days ago.... Aerotree's L35A...

-
Good shots MdSalleh & Flee.... thanks for sharing

-
Nice set Ong....
-
9M-GSA, initial search leads to a chopper Aerospatiale 350B Ecureuil ...
further search .... it leads to Gading Sari Aviation services... a B737-4B7(F) msn-24559

Saw the tail of an Eagle Express aircraft (presumably MPD) in the hangar at KLIA last week.
Went in for further repainting, that's what I heard...
-
Good catch of the first sharklets ... Chaity...
-
Thanks Rozhan, they are actually photos I've collected from the net as a reference for my custom 1:400 MAS models.
Then you should get this one to add to your 707s, MIR

"Malaysian" livery came later, sometime 1981 or so. There is yet another cheatline variation which connects right up to the tail. Didn't see this myself but there is a photo of it on sale at ebay. Also several hybrid ones on DC10 haj flights.
By the time "Malaysian" livery came about, inflight meals such as sandwiches for economy short sectors disappeared, and fares crept upwards.
.... talked to an old timer with MH (ground crew)... the one with the 'Sistem Penerbangan Malaysia' provided them with 3 months bonus,
none when they changed... (is it correct?)
-
Nice shot Fauzi... (but in the wrong thread... should be in 32R)
-
'Congratulations' for managed to put up 'restricted' images in our 'decend' and 'mature' forums. And yet we question why we are not being provided with special previlages...
-
Gday, guys. Just a question about the viewing mall of KLIA. Is it backlit in the morning or afternoon? Thanks.
It's facing SouthEast... So good for morning & afternoon, only that you face the opposite direction for each session..
-
Great shots Laurie ...
Yup... returning Hajj flight...
-
Went to Subang in not so good weather (raining in fact)... for China United Airlines aka China Air Force
B-4021... She went out for test flight around 1045...
and she came back at 1415 for a 'go-around" (she requested for touch&go)...
and touchdown at 1430 ...
BUT my prize catch for today is the surprise arrival of this beauty.... maybe from a test flight too..
she really made my day...
-
The "Before" & "After" of VOV...
-
Powerful point&shoot too there....
-
Wow.... rare catch Flee & Fauzi.... Subang is so unpredictable ....
-
Trying to catch a delayed MH2. Unfortunately it gets cloudy as soon as I get to the airport,, and rains when the dugong was about to depart.
Heard she had hydraulic problems... the reason for the delay... correct?
