    At 1423hrs (Local) today 29th Dec, 2011, CarolAnn Garrat in her Mooney M20J, N220FC

    landed in Subang in one of her legs for the Round The World....

    Ms Garratt holds the record for the ‘fastest round the World flight’ in a single engine aircraft,

    which she completed in a similar Mooney M20J aircraft, in December 2008, with her co-pilot Carol Foy.

    The pair surpassed all previous efforts when they flew around the World in 8 days, 12 hours, 18 minutes and 53 seconds.

    That record still stands.

     

    She'll be leaving for Indonesia on Saturday morning, 0800.

     

    She was escorted in by Socata TB10, 9M-JEG

    Norman, judging from the angle of your Saturday morning photos, I guess you must be standing somewhere near where I was taking photos with a few other foreign spotters.... ;)

    You were there on Saturday morning Victor?....

    sorry didn't see you. Friday morning I shot from near the lake directly opposite Mahsuri Hall

    and Saturday, on the hill near the DCA quarters, next to LANGKAWI sign opposite the terminal.

    Waiping, great P3 interior pix showing the mix of vintage layout and modern tech! No wonder you made Norman regret! ;)

    Not only that cockpit & cabin visits.... but the air display by C17 & Rafale... they didn't perform in the morning... :cray:

     

    Anyway.... here're some non-displaying aircraft captured before and after the morning session o Friday Dec, 9th

     

    Private 9M-IAI.... this guy requested for start-up after airport closure, was denied & told only open at 0330Zulu

    then casually request for start-up at 0320Zulu.... & again denied, and given 0330... :lol:

    9M-FFD .... was given 2 minutes to pushback before airport closure, but pax still boarding, thus stranded for 1:30hrs

    wahh uncle norman!!Amazing photos there!all very much 'wallpaper materials' :)

    Thanks Iwan.... yours are amazing too... :clapping:

     

     

    Nice sets Uncle Norman...very clean pictures...no noise at all...

     

    I wonder why my camera produce a lot of noise even at ISO100... <_>

    Your 7D should be as good as my D7000.... probably you're shooting at metered settings,

    ie, the camera metering would be checking the whole frame, meaning, metered to the sky

    this, your main subject become dark. When you want to brighten it, noise appears.

    Depending on aircraft, I add in +0.3EV to +0.7EV to brighten up the subjects

    as well as D7000's superb D-Lighting algorithm... :yahoo:

     

    uncle norman, what gun you use to shoot the birds? 300mm? 500mm?

    My normal 80-200, and heavy crops on some of them. But the SuperHornet are friendlier, he flew closer to ground... :good:

    Why not we submit our propossal to MAB? does anyone among us in this group have tried it before?

    Yes ... we did.... no response from any of the proposals... <_>

     

     

    hello everyone~

    i am completely new here, and this is my 1st post in this forum,

    would like to know if its safe to go there?

    like, is it a restricted area?

    can anyone go there jsut to snap pic? :)

     

    Hi Diana... welcome to Malaysianwings

    Yes.. it is safe to go to KLIA... but unfortunately it is not allowed to do spotting by the perimeter fence

    or on the purposely-built "Observation Hill" which is now a prohibited place.

     

     

    Hello everybody,

     

    I am a new member here. There are so many different places that you guys suggested. Could you kindly tell me which is the best place to spot. A place where I can hear the roaring engines and the smoke. Thanks.:)

    Flew on their Twotters to Tioman from Subang, and back to Subang on their Dornier,

    and used to fly couple of times on their F50 to Kerteh...

    My former office was next to their HQ in Shah Alam...

    So I just popped into their office to purchase tickets... :)
