Excuse me Fitri, is it to Jeddah or Madinah?

 

Sorry, now I know that the plane is touching down at Jeddah. Are the pilgrims going to Madinah or Makkah first?

That's what I want to know. Normally ealier pilgrims will go to Madinah first. In this case some flights land directly at Madinah - like my case last year. Those who land at Jeddah will have to take the boring bus journey to Madinah. They will stay at Madinah for about eight days before going to Makkah by bus.

 

Later pilgrims will go to Makkah after landing at Jeddah. They will go to Madinah by bus after performing their Haj. Whether they will return home from Madinah or Jeddah is a different question.

Wouldn't it be better if the official photographer can provide more details to the phototographs - like aircraft registration number/name, time spent on the tarmac at TGG with arriving and departing time, the number of passengers carried in each classes + the number of crews on each outbound and inbound sectors etc? I think all this information, if accessible, will give more weight and credibility to the thread, rather than just a plain aircraft picture.

Very True Azizul. I'm sure Fitri will come up to mark. I guess he is busy sifting through the thousands of photos he shot on the two days. Then there's cropping, resizing, uploading etc etc. He has to yet recover from the two days.

 

In the meantime, here's some shots from my compact digicam.

 

The Official Photographer officially shooting while being unofficially shot by the unofficial photographer. :lol:

Unofficial shots of 9M-MPM departing from TGG for Jeddah with 354 Pilgrims, 15 Ah Mois, 1 Ah Beng, three Pilots, 106 tonnes of Fuel and 12.3 tonnes of baggage for the 8 hour 37 minute flight to Jeddah.

Another unofficial shot of the aircraft officially entering the runway to backtrack for a 04 Take-Off.

Its a tiring job for the Official photographer....being such a dedicated professional, he even tried helping out with the pushback

aIMG_2796.jpg

 

Had to cover the "behind the scenes"......with the Cabin Crew

aIMG_2867.jpg

 

aIMG_2869.jpg

 

Here he's overwhelmed by the attention from the friendly Ah Mois.....

The Full Story will unfold in due time.

 

ps; From Sunday Pilgrims will be in their Ihram ex TGG.

SMS recieved from Dato' Capt Nawawi who piloted the inaugral Hajj flight from TGG.

Either Dato' Capt Nawawi landed at the wrong place or the Bernama reporter got it wrong. Go figure. I'm sure most of us knows who to trust more. :)
