Sa'a,

 

Better reconfirm your schedule first :good: ; nanti yang dikejar tak dapat,yang dikendong keciciran (Later You'll gain one,but you lost one).

 

Hope to see you during the inaugural flight,if God permits! ;)

 

since the arrival date of FFF is uncertain, i think i maintain my original flt. the inaugural one. see u! :D

Capt Radzi, we didn't meet any bulis as we parked our car at the Cowboy Town and walked to the 'ladang' in order to avoid attention of bulis..

Hi Folks,

 

Better late than never, on behalf of the "Vietnam delegation" I sincerely thank you all to make our spotting visit to Malaysia very friendly and fruitful (in terms of hundreds of aircraft pics taken). We are specially grateful for the best coordination from the great "ATC" host Chaity :good: , for Mr.&Mrs Norman's "catering service" with yummy chocolate cakes and for the graciously offered "ground service" from MIR, Victor, Hon kit, Yong and some more that we regretfully can't remember your names.

We look forward seeing you at our "spotting hub" SGN and at the next 7th anniversary of MalaysianWings. :drinks:

Let's browse some of my pics of our eventful day (some are backlit, sorry for the quality :sorry:)

Some members suggested to me it should be a domestic-foreign sequence, to cater/show our foreign membership too; last year SIN, this year KUL, next year SGN/BKK (?), the year thereafter Malaysia again ?

Please, give me your opinion... :help:

Bangkok would be a top-rate aviation spotting and photographing venue for the 7th Anniversary of Malaysianwings.

 

I have just returned from four days there and I am absolutely thrilled with my catch ... and as much as I have already shot, I am more keen than ever before to return. If the numbers signing up for the anniversary celebrations in June 2012, we might be able to book a good portion of the rooms in the Queens Garden Resort and turn the roof-top into the party venue from morning to night.

 

With runway 19 in use at this time of the year, I am certain we will be able to use the time there most productively. The following list is merely a small portion of what I shot in BKK over four days :

 

B767 of El Al, Aerosvit, Aeroflot, Business Air, ANA, ANA Cargo, Air Madagascar, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines,

B772 of Air Austral, Austrian Airlines, Thai, SQ, Air France

B773ER of Thai, Emirates, Etihad, EVA Air, CX, QR,

B757 of iFly, Nordwind, Air Astana

B747-300 of Orient Thai

A343 of Turkish, SriLankan, Kuwait, SAS, SWISS, Philippine,

A300-600 of Mahan Air,

A332 of Hong Kong Airlines, Egyptair, Air Berlin, Gulf Air, Royal Jordanian, SriLankan, Oman Air,

A333 of Finnair, CX, Philippine,

A319 of Druk Air, Kingfisher, Royal Brunei,

ATR72 of BKK Airways, Lao Airlines, Royal Thai Air Force

A380 of Emirates

 

... and the following freighters : Saudi Cargo MD-11F, EVA Cargo MD-11F, Hong Kong Airlines A332F, SIA Cargo B747-400BCF, Korean Cargo B744BCF, NCA B744F, Thai Cargo B772LRF, Shanghai Cargo MD-11F ...

... plus all the aircraft types operated by Thai Airways International (perhaps with the exception of the A345 which I did not see at all).

 

There is probably something for everybody when spotting at BKK. And once again, confirming the venue early along with the dates would facilitate early hotel and flight bookings, leave allocation for those who need to seek leave from employers and from Minister of HOME Affairs.

Perhaps for the 7th anniversary, we should have an "organising committee" to coordinate the whole thing. That way, we can do things like book hotels in a more organised manner so that we can get what we need at reasonable prices. The more we save on these, the more spare cash we have on other items. :)

Folks:

I think that for MW Vietnamese members we'll be pleased that the next MW anniversary venue is BKK (Suvarnabhumi and Don Muong). Just for the sake of travelling abroad by air :lol:

So, like Flee and KC Sim's comments, make our mind soon and Prompong will take care of the program :yahoo:

#1 A good sign during the Anniversary day:

This bird made an aerobatic show for us during a low traffic break
