S M Tang 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 He went to Don Muang in June 08 and Hanoi few weeks ago in the E-4B,yeah...hopefully he'll be flying in it from Australia next week If he's flying to Australia first then chances are it'll be the E-4B. Any idea where it'll be heading to? Just hoping that it'll come into SZB instead of KUL. Apparently, he is accompanied by a C-17 or two whenever he travels. Can anyone confirm that? Some photos of the An-124 and the 747 SP. I had to stitch two pictures to get this image! Full details of who to contact if you ever need such a cargo transporter. Look at the number of wheels! I can't imagine the An-225. The Las Vegas Sands 747SP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raj 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2010 SP there for maintenance ? Negative Pieter. I believe when they have no flights within the region, they park them at Subang. They have been doing it for quite sometime now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S M Tang 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2010 Negative Pieter. I believe when they have no flights within the region, they park them at Subang. They have been doing it for quite sometime now. And I thought they were bringing some high rollers over. Is there a reason why they park it at Subang? Lower cost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Y 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2010 Both Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates are currently in Melbourne for the AUSMIN summit on Monday with Australian leaders. The local press has confirmed Gates will be headed to Malaysia next so SZB is the likely location. Clinton arrived in C-32A 99-0003 SAM8278 yesterday in good weather while Gates arrived this morning on E-4B 73-1677 Buster25. Unfortunately the weather turned bad an hour before his arrival... Here are the pics from Melbourne. C-32 arriving YMML E-4B arriving YMML We've had a C-37 and another C-32 this afternoon, and are expecting a Buddha (C-17) later this evening as well.

The other USAF C-32 carried the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander flew in the Navy C-37. Hope those two planes will also visit Malaysia tomorrow...fingers crossed. Edited November 8, 2010 by MIR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S M Tang 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2010 I thought I saw this plane flying over my house today. Ian is like the 'Sri Ramani K' of SZB. Was that shot using a 300 or 400mm? I don't remember being able to get so close with my 300mm though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
