Sri Ramani K. 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2010 Just a few more to share from 8th Aug spotting session.. 9M-MRE Kari Xpress decided to rotate so so early, so can only afford this shot. VT-AXM 9M-AHO. This shot is dedicated to Cummins who was shooting the AK birds non-stop! Salute Soon after it was very slow traffic until about 1 p.m.. 9M-XAB! Decided to rotate so so late, so the only this I can afford is a "bad center" shot. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ignatius 4 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Wow... great shot despite the lighting conditions. Master Chaity must have been proud of his apprentice. The Force is strong in this one.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaity 1 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Anyways, wondering why nobody wants to share any pictures of their specials? Light was on and off the whole day, so cannot expect much from me. . . . Since Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race was on going in SIC on the same day, I never saw any GT girls. In MW though we have our very own... Ramani, I couldn't recall any specials that day. Most shots will stay in my computer for now. Quiet Sunday traffic and perhaps Hon Kit and myself should go to MME Race instead. Thanks for sharing those photos to make all the threads lively.

flee 5 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 9M-XAB! Decided to rotate so so late, so the only this I can afford is a "bad center" shot. Seems to a characteristic of D7's A343's departures, whether in KUL or STN. They are either carrying full load or on fuel saving takeoff or both! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S M Tang 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 I've checked the departure and arrival times for KUL on their website before. How accurate are they? Any idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will be shocked to know that how many of us actually scan that page before going spotting or to familiarise with the traffic for the day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sri Ramani K. 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Anyways, just felt like sharing 2 more.. 9M-MKF Newest baby bus in AK's fleet, 9M-AHZ. Done with my 32R shots, next up 32L.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Newest baby bus in AK's fleet, 9M-AHZ. Now that the H series quota is full, what will be the next rego series for AK's A320s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sri Ramani K. 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Now that the H series quota is full, what will be the next rego series for AK's A320s? Sorry Azizul, no idea yet. If all goes well, next delivery should be only in December. Weather today = Light = Sky = Spotting? 9M-XXD 9M-MRB Anyways another short story to share (I always have stories whenever "I" go spotting! ). Around 10.40A.M. a bulis truck approached me when I was at lakeside. I thought ok la, that's probably the end of my spotting session for today. Promptly stopped next to me with 3 bulis inside, and the conversation started: Bulis 1: "Encik, dah lama ke kat sini? Baju pun dah basah kuyup dengan peluh" (English: How long have you been here, sir? Looks like your tee is soaked with sweat) Me: "Ya encik, dari jam 8 tadi. Ambik gambar kapal je, tak kacau" (Yes sir, been here since 8 A.M. Taking pictures of aircrafts only, not disturbing anyone) (at this point I already felt like 1) I've compromised the spotting location and 2) They're definitely going to keep coming here to shoo people away 3) I thought my car was exposing myself there!). But hey, I was wrong. They started a friendly chat, and even asked me to show the pictures of MH's 737-800! One of them said "sexy la" looking at the picture After 5 mins, they just advised me to stay behind the bushes so that I would not be seen by the patrolling cars from the runway perimeter area. I was told they (bulis) will be going on their rounds at that area at least once a day. So yes, I didn't get shoo-ed away today and there are still some nice bulis around in KLIA! So for the nice bulises, dedicating you favourite "sexy la" MH 737-800, 9M-MLC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joseph Foong 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Very nice shot Sri ramani, I almost like them all, but what make me attentions is the Oman air A332 and the Cathay 773, As i know the Oman air A332 was just brand new from the airbus.. Hope to see more beautiful aircraft photos in 14R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Now that the H series quota is full, what will be the next rego series for AK's A320s? Interesting thought. Since "Hotel" already finish, and "India" already taken by Awan Inspirasi, the next should be "Juliet", no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaity 1 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Ramani, nice shots from 32R. My worst fear of seeing Bulis near the lakeside just came true from your experience. BTW, from the photo, it seems more like a MAB security truck. <_> Edited August 13, 2010 by Chaity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S M Tang 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Sri Ramani, what do you do actually? Don't you have to work/study? It seems that you're spotting at KUL EVERYDAY! I'm not complaining though! Keep the shots rolling in! Edited August 13, 2010 by SherM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sri Ramani K. 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Ramani, nice shots from 32R. My worst fear of seeing Bulis near the lakeside just came true from your experience. BTW, from the photo, it seems more like a MAB security truck. <_> Sorry for all the confusion, the location is at RIVERSIDE. Wanted to edit my inital post, but was too late to edit so i thought people who often visit that site would know the place from the photo. You're right Chaity, they are MAB staff, who also help the GOF and the PDRM to do surveillance around the airport area. Remember our conversation the other day about not having any one of the organisations visiting the riverside area? I guess I spoke too soon. Sri Ramani, what do you do actually? Don't you have to work/study? It seems that you're spotting at KUL EVERYDAY! I'm not complaining though! Keep the shots rolling in! Hehe! I expected this question to come sometime sooner or later, as many others have asked me this personally. I basically work + study + enjoy offdays at the same time. You just get that greater drive to go out spotting when you're living nearby the airport area and waking up to see such nice sky and light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
