Ken, The Challenger 605 is owned by Vistajet from Salzburg, Austria. About 9months ago they set up a new base at Subang to cater for the booming asian market.

 

Rayner, it is such a shame you can't capture in a photo the magic sound those 2 Rolls Royce darts must have made as you heard the F27 depart...

It's on the rear left side side,Kenneth (since the 742F is a converted freighter)-If i'm not mistaken.

Here's my contribution on the f27

How I wished they know how to backtrack on the taxiway instead on the runway... I had to crop max for this!!

I get to shoot on both side though

Maskargo 742F came late..

1024edDSC_8490.jpg

 

Then this vista jet taxi by for departure back to szb.

1024edDSC_8501.jpg

 

Shooting thru the fences.. manage to get a nose shot of this classic dumbo

And some shot of her taxiing to runway 25 for her flight to HKG..Nope.. no sign of kueh lapis onboard

pass by airport and saw B74F is parking at the parking bay with red light on... quickly turn the the spoting spot around 1910 and it took of 5 minutes later. its was exhilirating to listen to the RR engine roar and rotate early, may be zero load on board? anyone know what rego? can;t see as its dark whenit depart at 1915? AAB?

I enjoyed every bits of it. Thrilling and fun too. The sound of the A330 roaring so close to me is simply awesome.

 

Our moment, however was cut short by the M*B securities... hahahaha....
