Bob, I was told to beredar(get lost) at 9.00am by the Bulis, I didn't see you around ?

 

kena beredar AGAIN, Second time in a week :finger:

Hey Wilson, I was slightly south of the bus-stop location, in front of someone's house. But I've had to stand on my car when I photograph. Suggest you 'take shelter' inside your car when you're not shooting and keep your ladder out of sight?

 

Some shots from yesterday, Saturday 17 October 2009:

JQ update...

-VGZ which was finally swapped with -VQH "Go Roo's" after 3 cancelations will (if all goes to plan) be swapped back with -VQH tonight.

Arrgghh... haven't been able to photograph VGZ over the past few days due to bad weather...

 

Anyway... some shots from today, Tuesday 20 October 2009:

 

B-HNG B777-367 CX692 PEN-HKG

Rotating on 04 with a rainbow in the background

Still can't believe it took me so long to finally get a decent shot of this!

Rainbow over the airfield this morning... it lasted for a mere 10 to 15 minutes.

Traffic at PEN is EXTREMELY slow. It is only once in a blue moon that we get something special. On average, there's one departure/landing every twenty minutes, so in between, we photograph other flying objects. Can anyone identify the 'aircraft type'?

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Wilson Koh for showing me around Penang Airport last week while I was there on holidays. It was much appreciated. Your Go Roos Jetstar photo looks great.

Any idea what plane MH will be using for the Haji Operations ?

Same as last year - MH B744s.

 

Rumour has it that N707MQ Omega Tanker will be in and out of PEN from today until 23OCT09! Sorry I don't have the STA/STDs though!

So it really appeared!

Expected schedule as follows:

22OCT09 STD:1000h STA:1800h

23OCT09 STD:1000h

 

I won't be free to photograph her at the scheduled departures/arrivals... hopefully someone (Wilson?) will have the time to do so!

 

And btw, today's Hajj MH8002/21OCT was operated by 9M-MPL.

Nice shot of a classic aircraft.

 

Those Pratt & Whitney JT3D engines must be very noisy and fuel hungry these days, unlike the CFM 56 engines that the KC-135 tankers are retrofitted with.

Any of you guys snapped the photos of the aircraft used for this year Hajj flight?

Haven't had time to photograph the Hajj charters, which depart right smack in the middle of the day at 1130h. Anyway, for the record, 9M-MPL operated MH8006/22OCT09.
