Yusoff 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 GLEX has been at PEN for a couple of days. I can't get a decent pic of her Good job MIR. Were you on the apron or on board an aircraft next to it? BTW, at around 5.30pm yesterday, I saw 9M-MXA (I think) parked next to this GLEX. Still the new scheme looks lazy to me... Today, I got bored so off to the Departure Hall I went... B-18615 from TPE taxiing to Gate 7. Over to Gate 8, the dirty, outdated "ZOOM!" AK (9M-AFQ) shows us how the air flows on her fuselage Before the wing front edge (fore-wing??)... ... and just behind the wing amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yusoff 1 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 How come no one reporting about the new Penang International Airport? I've been searching for the pics of the new airport/terminal before Najib came for the launching ceremony. To no avail, I've stopped searching. Earlier today, I found the model has been encased and displayed at the airport info counter on the departure floor. And since you've got nicer photo from skyscrapercity, thank you very2 much. Was thinking about to bring the camera to the airport tomorrow. Being at the airport day in and day out, it is a terrible experience. Dust here and there. Constant drilling and jackhammering makes you feel like you're having a root canal for hours. And sometimes you can feel the airport is shaking when the heavy machineries are moving about. The arrival hall and the whole ground floor, is like the Puduraya bus terminal. Terrible. I photographed the GLEX from seat 19E, 9M-FYI FYI And a spanking new aircraft! These were on Thursday 20th CI sent B-18605, with FYA on the background ETOPS certified. See the FO is wearing (goalkeeper's) gloves 9M-FYA HS-ABL from BKK. 'Body Slam Live In Asia (?)'

LaurieB 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Yusoff, MIR, good photos! I woke up early this morning and had nothing to do so decided to set off early to the airport to try the new lens. Arrivals on Rwy04 first. Tried close-ups and long shots as an experiment.
