Chaity 1 Report post Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) I was at weather station at around 2PM. Not a single spotter there except the "lalang" has grown longer. Planes were departuring on runway 14R and landing on 14L. Aiseh! I was thinking no chance to spot AirAsia A320 landing. Took some departure photos and happy to see the busy traffic. At about 2:45PM, suddenly an AirAsia landing on Rwy 14R. I was smiling from ear to ear and have high hope of getting the A320. At 3:30PM She is spanking new and spotless ! Later, she makes a turn and overtaking the 3 Ah Moi plane on tow. She was finally home and a long line of guests welcoming her. Sorry for this photo. It is either caused by heatwave or the "Satey" smoke. Edited December 8, 2005 by chaity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks for the pics. A historic day for Air Asia indeed, and the new planes may attract more 'Guests' (AK's term for customers) who have been shying away from flying on its B737s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
