Norman 1 Report post Posted July 4, 2010 Ian.... another US Military flight? David... now worries bro... it's normal for spotting rare aircraft, it was supposed to depart at the original info, but as you mentioned... due to documentation problems, we were unabled to shoot her departure, but I think some MWIngers succesfully captured her during one of the test flights...

Guys This evening I saw, all white USA - Air Force, Boeing C-32B (757-23A), if I not mistaken the rego is 00-9001...Park at open apron beside MD11 of Transmile... Ashmil, where's the photo lah? 00-9001 probably brought the Foreign Emergency Support Team(FEST) to attend a meeting/conference in KL.

The aircraft is assigned to 227th Special Operations Flight, McGuire AFB New Jersey. 227th SOF operates two Boeing C-32B, the other one is 02-4452 Edited July 27, 2010 by MIR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobK 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Hi MIR, For your info, 00-9001 arrived from Andersen and was (apparently) enroute to Bangladesh. Callsign was "LEON 78".

Chaity 1 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 Went to SZB this afternoon (8/1) and just in time to catch her off. TU-TAB (Ex-N315NE) She came back in around half an hour. I presume some technical issues. Can someone shed some lights on this ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chaity 1 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) great catch bro... is the a/c newly painted? Thanks for your comments, guys. Don't think so the a/c is newly painted. <_>She was in this livery before except with Gading Sari & POS Malaysia titles. <_>If you notice the logo on the tail, it was POS Malaysia logo except some "modification". Compare it with Raj's photo in --> Anet Interesting to see Lankan titles but Ivory Coast registration (and flag)... Thanks Pieter, I didn't even know that's Ivory Coast registration and flag.

S M Tang 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2010 just wondering, do any flight schools operate out of / use subang ? (RMAF discounted) None operating out of SZB but I know HMA and MFA do come to SZB. There are flying clubs operating from SZB though. OT: Anyone can suggest a good flying club operating from SZB where I can get an introductory flight with good rates? Cheers!

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted August 28, 2010 Precious! There's a few liveries which I can't tell which airlines they are. And also, quite a number of airlines there have updated their livery, some more than once, which shows MH's current livery (and as featured in the photos) is quite old.

S M Tang 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2010 SZB's glory days! I was thinking of it on Friday as I could hear planes flying over my area. Seems to be pretty busy that day. If only KUL had to be shut down for a week and all planes were diverted to SZB! SPOTTING HAVEN! Oh well, its pretty late so forgive me for dreaming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
