Saturday morning rehearsal session.... only one Bisa & one Taufan
Friendly pilots... FAB & Bash...
Butt shot...
It was hot while waiting for Smokin' Bandit to complete the display...
Met MMLim from Melaka ....
and non-military stuff... notice the buckets while taxying...
-
TK, Did you have anything to do with the dugong landed on 32R and taxi via Golf?
-
If you go back to the same spot today.... you'll see dead grass with body mark...
-
Nice sky to welcome the dugong...
and FLee's UWA thinning out the fat mama ...
-
I think there's RMAF's Subang Open Day either 2nd or 9th June....
It's on the 3rd of June, starting 1000 till 1900.
-
TK, looking at the second photo in your sequence, the tube also seems to appear in the same position on the port side. I think it is part of the side-looking airborne radar system.
Have just checked my photos from LIMA09. They show the same system fitted to M71-02.
Very nice photos again. Must get down to Subang sometime.
Laurie, I think what TK meant was the 'pipe' installed just above the wording "MARATIM MALAYSIA" on starboard,
but not on port side.
-
So we have now seen the MiG-29s at LIMA 2011 and Singapore Air Show 2012. What do you think?
We'll see them again on the 3rd of June in Subang next week...
-
The airport viewed from the tower.
Nice view from the tower....
However.... something is not right with the design... controller unable to see most part of the apron...
-
Nice catch.... and good moment too FLee......
I only seen its inaugural flight through FR24 only....
-
If I'm not wrong.... the last pix in Naim's post showed 10500' min altitude for the area...
The aircraft was flying at 10000' and requested descend to 6000' ??
-
Good catch TK.... what time she arrived?
-
Flee.... you should wait for another hour as Grizzly-4 took-off at 1200, an hour after she taxied to Airforce base,
about the same time the C17 landed....
Yeah... worth 4-hour wait today, the first 2hrs was "in the dark" as I don't have a scanner, only after 1000 that we can monitor the movements...
We were very lucky as OZ435... C-17 did a go-around before landing, as she came as a surprise...
Waited for an hour as "predicted" by TK, proved right.... and our minds were frantically trying to decide to where to position ourselves as we were unsure initially where the Grizzly going to take-off from..... and initially she were offered Rwy33, as she emerged from Zulu...
Luckily she declined.... and proceed to Rwy15
We were too late to move to another location (thinking she might go all the way to Kilo... where the furniture shop would be the best, if not the small hill..)... then we heard she'll take Hotel.... right in front of us...
Just nice for butt-shot...
and... look... both sides no more roundel...
and... a short unedited FullHD video from D7000
& that's TK's at 0:21
....
and yeah... lucky for TK too.... as ex-Mr Trump posing for the camera for a few minute before went off for a short 20min spin to 10000ft
-
Good catch Tukun & KS Ong....
The RMAF roundel has gone...
BTW... the 402 decomm from RMAF last year if I'm not mistaken...
-
The Grizzly-4 taxied to Airforce base on her own power for the welcoming ceremony...
Shot from far & highly cropped..
An Israel IAI-1124-A Westwind from Philippine, RP-C5880.... has that Flying Doctor logo on the fuselage
note: Still waiting for timing of the Grizzly-4 joyrides tomorrow..
-
Has Thomas Cook left for MCR?
Check Tukun59's video few posts above.... left yesterday morning I believe.
Good catch of V8-ALI, tukun59....
-
Fixing the decal...
Official .... an RMAF aircraft already
Checking tyre pressure...
we missed the arrival by half an hour....
-
BTW Norman, I forgot to mention that I was more fascinated by your dancing captions than the propellers!
Hahaha..... seems that I've chosen 'stabilise' when uploaded in youtube, and what youtube did was to
stabilise the shaky video images, and make the 'stable' captions to dance.... huuu.....
-
wow, not bad!
Thanks AbahAtuk
Well 1/30 sec is probably even better as panning blur is also more realistic.
I think a monopod will do as it eliminates vertical movement. For real pro effects, you will need one of the very, very expensive SteadiCam products. These have gyros to stabilise the camera - you can see them in use by the touchline cameramen on BPL matches.
I need ND filter attached to go lower than 1/50s yesterday... already at max aperture of f/22... hehe...
As for the steadycam..... they're very expensive!... Even the simple flycam that can take the weight already
can buy you a dslr...
-
Great shots! I Is that N788LS in Airod's hangar(0:47 in the vid)?
Hrmm..I guess it is cancelled. Its flight plan to Male is not on flightaware anymore..
Thanks MIR..... need some dslr-video stabiliser next heheeh....
Not sure about the B737 in Airod, probably that of Sand's but too far out to make out.
As for the Air Australia... somebody tweeted that she was at Skypark the night before so probably left earlier...
-
I tried to shoot some videos with my D7000.
I learned that to blur out the props, you've to set the shutterspeed to about 1/50sec.
Here's my badly shoot video of some props movements yesterday....
Sorry for the shakiness ... handheld of the heavy 80-200 lens...
Those with high bandwidth can view it in FullHD

Went to SZB hoping to get the last Air Australia aircraft, scheduled to depart at 1400 today...
But no luck .... waited from 1215-1520...
Anyway... these are some of the catch within that time frame...
high rollers on-board?
doing one circuit out from Airod....
and on the way back, stopped for a shot of what is left of the B742...
-
I believe the Selangor Flying Club is based in SZB.
RSFC is based in Sempang (Sg Besi Airport)
http://www.rsfc.com.my/location.html
Anyway... there're a few flying clubs and some private aircraft (single engine) that are based in Subang
as well as the RSFC aircraft do some practices in SZB too...

*note the taxiway Juliet signboard, now gone..clipped by M53-01...
You've the photo of AOG M53-01?
-
That would be a non-standard phraseology, which shouldn't be used by both pilots and ATC. At that time it could meant 22400, which is confusing as well.
This is the incident that change the ATC phraseology to the current format "descend two thousand four hundred".
From all the previous altitude calls to descend by ATC... "TO" were omitted as well.... and was correctly report back by the crew,
that was the standard at that time I think, except that the 2400' was mistakenly read as "TO Four Hundred"... and wasn't corrected by ATC...
