Yusoff 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 Thanks for the info jieloe. Sadly, come February onwards, I may not be able to post much on PEN activities since I will be stationed at nearby Swettenham Pier for a few months up to a year. But still available for weekend spotting though And, expect more from me at Boats Galore thread. GE guys are still here, with better pic as promised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fahiruz 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Very nice Yusoff, I did not know each Fedex plane got a name. Each of FedEx plane is named after employees' child name.. Ohhhh active cargo plane than pax there...hehe... Any chance PEN gonna get FedEx B777F??hehehe. Any idea where do the 3 Fedex heading for? Not in near future..the nearest the 777F is in SIN. B777F is primarily used for transpac lanes connecting our hubs in CAN and MEM and one lane HKG-CDG. most likely routing for the 3planes: A310F : CAN-KUL-PEN-CAN MD11F : CAN-BKK-PEN-CAN MD11F : CAN-PEN-SIN (for PEN o/b transpac via SIN) Edited February 2, 2011 by Fahiruz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanielH 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2011 Hello, in March I want to visit Malaysia and maybe I`ll fly to Penang, if the weather is good. Can somebody write anything about the spotting locations there, is it possible to spot at both approaches 04/22? Maybe can you send me some markings with google to know the places? It will be a great a help for me, if you can give some advices. Thanks for your help. Best regards from Germany Daniel Hustedt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best regards from Germany Daniel Hustedt Hi Daniel, For RWY04 action, you can spot from the bus depot located at Batu Maung, however there are chances for the police to ask you to leave. My favourite spot is at the beach to get the approaching aircraft while I can stay under the shade and enjoy the sea breeze. No one will bother you here but in exchange for that, you will miss out all the departure action. RWY22 usually in operation from noon till evening. Limited place to spot, you actually have to go into someone's compound to take photo. 4-step ladder is required to clear the double fencing. You can refer to the first page of this thread to get some idea what kind of shot you will expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaurieB 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Looking at the SIA Cargo site, I think the times are more likely to be local and not GMT. A 1730 local arrival would be good. See here: http://www.siacargo.com/news220211_1.asp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
