Nope, our nightstops are in Penang. You wouldn't catch me overnighting in Nagpur unless my life depended on it!! :p

The ATRs arrived around 0300LT, and departed the following morning around 0100LT, and the F100 came in around 1700LT, and departed around 0800LT.

Bedankt Yorden, goed je nieuws behalve op Scramble ook hier te zien... ;)

 

Surprisingly, guys, no pictures of the PEN nightstopping aircraft by the PEN-spotters ! :huh:

Pieter, not surprising really given the arrival/departure times, 3am/1am respectively quoted by Yorden above, of the ATRs. Pretty much impossible to get any photos at those times. Even getting on the ground shots is difficult at the moment as the airport is undergoing major reconstruction work. Not sure where they would have been parked but if in front of the tower on the fairly new stands, again, not much chance of any good photos. Not sure if they would be able to access the old GA pan as new gates are being built out of the north end of the terminal and seem to pretty well block access to that area.

 

The F100 timings allow a better chance of photos, weather permitting. Last Sunday it certainly did not!

 

Yorden, thanks for the additional info on timings.

Travel Air's second Fokker50(P2-TAF),has begun its delivery flight on 08/09/11 from Maastricht,Netherlands to Madang,Papua New Guinea.

Rumoured that it might stop-over at Penang or Subang tomorrow. It already did Maastricht-Trabzon-AlAin.

This place is easy to find. If you take the Coastal Highway, follow signs to airport cargo entrance. But instead of heading straight down to the cargo entrance, take the last right turn (it's definitely "right" unless you're coming out of the cargo center) before the cargo entrance (I think that's about 100 to 200 meters before the entrance). Head down that road after the turn and pay attention to the left; you'll find this spot after about half a km. Hope that's clear enough.

Just to share some shots at the bus stop for a quick stopover to grab some shots on 13/9

Start off with CX painting the early morning sky

KE Cargo arriving from KUL exited the runway and turned right instead of left. Hence making it back to runway for another taxiway and make a uturn back to the terminal.

Asiana Cargo seen here departing. Missed her arrival by few minutes but managed to get her departure.

Sorry for the substandard photo, just had my phone with me that time. Nevertheless just for sharing, first time to see a A330F for Hong Kong Airlines Cargo at PEN. No idea for the schedule.

 

Hong Kong Airlines Cargo = Air Hong Kong = DHL ????

Nice catch Wilson. I've seen them a couple of times on flightradar departing out of PEN. I think they may have started scheduled flights or it simply could just be chartered flights.

No, Hong Kong Airlines Cargo is an offspring of Hong Kong Airlines which is a HNA Group company.

Mir, thanks for the info. Again, unfortunately, a day when I cannot get to the airport.

 

Was there earlier this morning. Just a few, mainly from the bus stop.

I guess it brought some equipments from Scotland to the airport on the other side, then repositioned to WMKP. Guys,look out for Eurofighter Typhoons and other foreign stuffs over Penang in the coming days ;)
