Syukri 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 A bit off-topic but still about AOR.. Any idea when PULATIBANG is having their open-day? I've been there during my NS training couple of years ago and it was awesome! Though they had not much of exciting fleet (Pilatus n Alouette) but they make a full use of it.. I wonder if they will do it again this year.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tek 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2011 Hi all I'm Tek from BKK. Now, I', in Penang and looking for spotting locations around. Could you recommend locations for spotting at Alor Setar airport? (I have a car) Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Idham 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2011 Hi TEK, for a good spotting location at Alor Star, motorcycle is the best medium of transport because this airport is surrounded by padi field, and have very limited space for a car. But, you can still get an approach shot from a small road at end of runway 04. You can access the road from Kompleks Kerajaan Persekutuan Anak Bukit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
