Sofian,

 

You'd better get them all 4 as soon as possible: KL, as well as AF and MP will park 2 Freighters each 'in the desert' (MHV or VCV), due to the economic crisis... :(

Rumours are too, that AF will take-over the KL freighter operation to KUL/PEN :blink:

Wow have chance to 'catch' it

aku guna 70-300

 

77F

XAB serviced the KUL-PEN-KUL route today! anyone caught her? first ever revenue flight @ test flt :)

I CANNOT believe I missed her!!! Which flight was she operating? I only saw 9M-AHO this morning!

 

Edit: 5 seconds after I sent the above message, I received SMS confirming arrival of 9M-XAB on 04MAR09 on line check at approximately 0720h. Ramani, can you confirm she operated to PEN on 03MAR09?

Weather wasn't expected to be good this morning and I had no intention to take photographs until I received so many messages last night from a huge number of you friendly folks about 9M-XAB coming to PEN today. Well... I set up my alarm to ring really early and I just could not sleep properly because I was so afraid that I would miss the alarm (which happens very frequently)!

 

Well... here we go... first one... TF-AAB...

And then I popped back into the car waiting for 9M-XAB to push back. I saw an A300 landing... and I figured that it was properly the boring old Air Hong Kong B-LDA/B/C/D/E/F/G/H, all of which I've photographed already. But as I peered out of my car window to look closer... I realized the tail wasn't yellow... it was something else!!! WHAT THE!!!!!!!??????????? I literally dived out of my car to photograph this beast TC-ABK.

I think I have mentioned somewhere on this thread before (perhaps the 2008 thread) that I thought I saw from the terminal a non-standard scheme A300 operating for Air Hong Kong. I have been on the lookout for it ever since but never saw it again, so I had resigned to the fact that I was disillusioned back then. But hey! This aircraft came back today and viola!!! Even though I got it in bad light, at least we have proof that AHK has leased a A300 from somewhere else. Something to look out for from now on and pray for good light when we next see her!

 

Finally... AK6313... what a beauty even in poor light!

Once again, thanks to all who have messaged me, especially Ramani, for making this possible! This is why this hobby is so enjoyable even in a slow-moving airport like PEN!

Will she still be operating it to PEN for today only or for a period of time?

Superb shots! Any idea why does this aircraft have the British flag painted on the starboard side winglet, and the Malaysian flag painted on the port side winglet? The aircraft bears Malaysian registration, isn't it? :mellow:

I guess the reason of having the flag there because of Sir Richard Branson.

 

Very nice Bob, I wish I was there to shoot as well.

 

I just reached Bukit Mertajam after traveling back from KL.
